Tune your guitar down a half step to play this one. You'll
need to hit the low E chord.

the day since I met her
i can't believe it's true
she came here from memphis
across the ocean
sailing and i saw her and i pleaded
why do you come so far and she said
[C#m]trying to get to [E]you
[C#m]how i tried to get to [E]you
[C#m]trying to get to [E]you

i'm sending a letter
i'll send it right to you
i'll send it to memphis
i know that someday
everything i needed and i wanted
used to be that in my head was haunted
[witb Rbytbm Figure 1]
and all these sirens they make me mad
and all this violence it brings me down
i feel strong
i feel lucky
trying to get to you
said i'm going to get to you
trying to get to you
