Chuck Berry
[Intro]
 
G   G7  G   G7
 
[Verse 1]
 
     D             D7              D             D7
Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
D                D7              D                 D7
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
    G
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
          D              D7             D6              G
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
 
[Verse 2]
 
D             D7             D                D7
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
          D              D7                 D              D7
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
    G
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
D             D7            D6          G
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
 
[Instrumental]
 
D   D7   D   D7
D   D7   D   D7
G   G    G   G
D   D7   D6  G
 
[Verse 3]
 
D             D7                D             D7
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
D           D7           D              D7
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
    G
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
    D              D7            D6           G
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
 
[Verse 4]
 
D           D7              D              D7
Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
     D                D7                D                 D7
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
  G
Marie is only six years old, information please
D             D7                D6            G
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
 
G
