[Intro]
C F Am F
C G F G
[Verse 1]
C F
Soon the sun will rise
C F
Outside the streets are quiet
Am
Not a car on the road
G F G
Not a soul in sight
C F
I'll bet it's ninety degrees
C F
There's no escape from the heat
Am
The dead of night
G F G
Still climbs up from the street
[Chorus]
Am G F
I've been up all night drinking alone
Am G F
I ain't got no business out on the road
Dm Em G C G
I love mornings in Memphis
[Verse 2]
C F
I could take a stroll
C F
Sometimes when I'm on my own
Am
I walk down Beale Street
G F G
Real nice and slow
C F
Walk up to the river's edge
C F
Get down under the bridge
Am
Highway over
G F G
High lonesome overhead
C F
I stand all alone in the dark
C F
Pay no mind to the sky full of stars
Am
Try not to think
G F G
Just listen to my heart
[Chorus]
Am G F
There’s boats passing by
Am G F
I'm skipping stones and gettin' high
Dm Em G C G
I love mornings in Memphis
[Instrumental]
C F C F
Am G F G
C F C F
Am G F G
[Bridge]
Am F
Long after the midnight
C G
Before the sunrise
F G
Tracing fingers in the dust
F G
The stark and the sober up
[Verse 3]
C F
The dawning light
C F
Stars fade to a clear blue sky
Am
No sign of life
G F G
Over on the Arkansas side
C F
Oh but before I cop
C F
Wait for the sun itself to show
Am
A new daylight
G F G
Muddy water turned to gold
[Chorus]
Am G F
Maybe I should just stay in
Am G F
I know I'll be back this way again
Dm Em G C
I love mornings in Memphis
[Outro]
Dm Em G
