 MEMPHIS PEARL (Lucinda Williams & Lorne Rall)<br/>
 ---------------------------------------------<br/>
 [Each chord is one measure (3/4 time]<br/>
 [Maybe in G with a capo at the 2nd fret; I'm not sure]<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 A       A       D         A     A<br/>
 Back in Memphis she was a pearl<br/>
 <br/>
 A       A          D        A    A<br/>
 She was everyone's favorite girl<br/>
 <br/>
 D       D           D      A     A   A   A<br/>
 Now her eyes have a vacant stare<br/>
 <br/>
      A            A          D           A     A    A    A<br/>
 What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 She married a man when she left home<br/>
 She wanted someone she could call her own<br/>
 He was good to her when he wasn't drunk<br/>
 He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked<br/>
 <br/>
 Back in Memphis where she grew up<br/>
 The life she knew was just not enough<br/>
 Back in Memphis when she was a girl<br/>
 She thought one day she'd own the world<br/>
 <br/>
 She'd look at the TV and magazines<br/>
 And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen<br/>
 She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet<br/>
 But those things don't mean much out here on the street<br/>
 <br/>
 Back in Memphis she had fun<br/>
 Goin' around, tellin' everyone<br/>
 She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side<br/>
 And wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive<br/>
 <br/>
 She bounces her baby on her knee<br/>
 Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky, you'll see<br/>
 I promise it won't always be like this<br/>
 Come here, sugar, give Mama a kiss<br/>
 <br/>
 Back in Memphis another time<br/>
 Didn't look like things would turn out fine<br/>
 Back in Memphis when she was a girl<br/>
 She thought one day she'd own the world<br/>
 <br/>
 Back in Memphis she was a pearl<br/>
