Billy Ray Cyrus - Back to Memphis

Intro Chord - D

(verse)

D                      A        
It ain't natural for a delta man,
G                    A
To be surrounded by all this sand,
D                 A
To fear the echoes of live rounds,
G             A
To never sleep when the sun goes down,


(Bridge)

Bm        A              G
So I'm writing you this letter,
         D                   Em7                    Asus/A
To say I miss you more than ever and to promise you this,


(Chorus)

G       A               D
WHEN I make it back to Memphis,
G          A              D
I'm gonna take you in my arms,
          Bm          G
And never let you go,
            A             D
And girl I promise you a kiss,
    F#m              Bm   A - G
For every day we've missed,
       A                     D
'Til I make it back to Memphis,


(verse)

I'll have to say I think we've done some good
If I had to do it all again I know I would
There's still a few shots every now and then
But they say this thing is finally coming to an end

(bridge)
So this might be my final letter
I say the sooner the better cause I'm ready to come home

(chorus)
When I make it back to Memphis
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And never let you go
And girl I promise you a kiss
For every day we've missed
'Til I make it back to Memphis

(bridge)

Bm            A            G
She reads his letters everyday, 
         A                 Bm
Then she puts them all away,
            A           G
Next to his medal and a flag, 
               F#m         Em - D - G
That she would gladly give back,


(chorus)
    G       A                  D
If it would bring him back to Memphis,
   G          A              D
So he could take her in his arms,
     A    Bm         G
And never let her go,
             A           D
Cause he promised her a kiss,
    F#m               Bm  - A - G
For every day they've missed,
         A                 D
'Til he made it back to Memphis,
       G          A                   D  - C - G - D
If he could only make it back to Memphis,
D
Back to Memphis
Back to Memphis
Back to Memphis
