Back to Memphis The Band
[A]I've been struggling up [Gbm]here, just [A]trying to
make a living.
[A]Everybody wants to take it, no[D]body like [A]giving.
I [D]wish I was back in Memphis, back home with
my Mama.[Bm] [D]
The [G]only clothes I [Gbm]got now that [A]ain't rags is
my pajamas.
No [E]brotherly [A]love, no [E]help, no danger..just a
[A]great big [E]town full of [A]cold hearted strangers.
I went [Am]hungry in New York and [A]Chicago was no better.
[A]But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in her
letter.
Said, [D]come on [E]back to Memphis and [D]live here with your
Mama.
You can [A]walk down [C]Beale Street, [D]honey, wearing your
[A]pajamas.
You [D]know [E]folks down here, we let you do just like you
want to.
And I [A]born you and raised you right here [D]on the [A]corner.
