[Cbords]
[verse 1]
[F#m]Monday looked like a [F#m7]downer
[F#m]Tuesday looked like [F#m7]rain
A bad a[E]ltitude
And I [B7]knew I needed a c[F#m]hange
[Verse 2]
[F#m]Head out on the h[F#m7]ighway
[F#m]Cruising way down [F#m7]south
I kn[E]ew a little place
Where we [B7]might could work it all [F#m]out
[Cborus 1]
[D5]I'm so ti[E]red of fighting with[F#m] myself
Gonna sp[B5]end a little time at the [E]Tunica [F#m]Motel
[Verse 3]
[F#m]Just outside of Me[F#m7]mphis,
[F#m]Highway [F#m7]61
[E]Sleepy little town d[B7]own by the
Mississippi R[F#m]iver
[Verse 4]
[F#m]I'm gonna lay out on a h[F#m7]ouseboat
[F#m]Until my hide turns [F#m7]brown
[E]Ain't gonna move 'till the
[B7]Evening sun goes [F#m]down
[Cborus 2]
Fried chi[D5]cken to go a[E]nd they got live bait for [F#m]sale
A[B5]nything you need at the [E]Tunica [F#m]Motel
[Verse 5]
[F#m]I find myself at mi[F#m7]dnight
[F#m]Moving to the back porch [F#m7]blues
The [E]guitar cries, [B7]telling me
About the ha[F#m]rd times
[verse 6]
[F#m]Something moves in the sh[F#m7]adows
[F#m]Giving me a little [F#m7]chill
I thought I s[E]aw Robert Johnson
[B7]Walking out across the [F#m]field
[cborus 3]
There ain't h[D5]ardly anybody l[E]eft who even knows the [F#m]tale
[B5]Gimme the blues at the [E]Tunica [F#m]Motel
