Actually in A; capo 2.

Eacb cbord is balf a measure.

[The little melody thing in the intro (and elsewhere) is just G and Gsus4;

do it by using your index finger to switch back and forth quickly from

3x0003 to 320013. I marked it in the chords as G*.]

	G	G	G	C
	Looking at you through a	misty moonlight,	katydids sing like a	symphony

	G	G	G	C
	Porch swing swaying like a	Tenn. lullaby,	melody blowing thru the	willow tree

	What was I	s'posed to do,	standing there	looking at you

Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was	Memphis,	maybe it was	southern summer n	ights

Am7 C G G*

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Read about you in a Faulkner novel, met you once in a Williams play

Heard about you in a country love song, summer night beauty took my breath away

What was I s'posed to do, standing there looking at you

Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Guitar solo, same cbords as cborus; see tab at end

Every night now since I've been back home, lie awake drifting in my memory

Think about you on my mama's front porch swing, talking that way, so soft to me

What was I s'posed to do, standing there looking at you

Lonely boy so far from home

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Am7 C G G*

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

G C/G G G*

Ohhh, you know it sure felt right

G C/G G G*

Oh, maybe it was Memphis

G C/G G G*

Maybe it was Memphis

G C/G G G*

Maybe it was Memphis

GUITAR SOLO TAB:

* It's probably actually played in A with no capo, but I find it easier in G.

(I got this by translating some piano sheet music into tablature.)

* "tri" denotes sixteenth-note triplets. "triplets" are eighth triplets.

* The marks below the tab lines are timing; they're mostly accurate.

* An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on or pull-off. When there wasn't room for

the marker, I put the numbers and equal signs in parentheses below the tab.

I did that so that 1=0 wouldn't be confused with the number 10 (ten).
