Memphis by Joy Oladokun
Memphis
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
G
Are you gonna call me in the morning?
D
'Cause I noticed the look in your eyes
G Bm
When our hands touched, glancing like
D
Boxers fighting for championship prizes
G Bm D Em
I was just looking for a good time, I never thought I'd find it
G Bm G D
And I'll be back on the 9 to 5 grind tomorrow
G
Times is hard and the bills are deep
Bm
I can barely make ends meet, I can't take care of you, so
G Bm
Oh I know we've had a good ride
D Em G
But there's no pressure to follow through
[Chorus]
G D
Cos I've never crossed the ocean
F#m G
I've only stood barefoot on the shore
Bm D
I've never been to Memphis but I swear I will someday
G D
And if I, if I'm being honest I've never been in love before
Em F#m
I've just been chasing shadows
G
Praying that it waits for me
[Verse 2]
G
And you're not gonna call me in the morning
D
That's all right, dear, it's no surprise
G Bm
Plus I heard you got a girl back home
D G
She must have slipped your mind while
Bm
We were out having a good time
G
And these things always happen without warning
D
In the morning you will know my name
Bm D
Always the spark, never the flame
[Chorus]
G D
I've never crossed the ocean
F#m G
I've only stood barefoot on the shore
Bm D
Never been to Memphis but I swear I will someday
G D
And if I, if I'm being honest I've never been in love before
Em F#m
I've just been chasing shadows
G D
Praying that it waits
[Bridge]
Em G D G
And I can be alone a little longer if it means
D Em G
That love is rising like the dawn to shine on me
D Em G
I'm running on, life ain't half as long as it seems
D G
It isn't gonna wait for me
[Chorus]
G D
I'm gonna cross the ocean and swim 'till I lose the shore
G Bm D
I've never been to Memphis but I'm on my way
G F#m
And I'm just being honest, no I've never been in love before
Em F#m G D
But I've seen its shadows
Em F#m G D
Yes I've seen its shadow
Em
Oh I've seen its shadows praying that it waits for me
