The Band - Back To Memphis Chords

A  D  A  E7  A

A
I been strugglin' up here just tryin' to make a livin'.

Everybody wants to take and nobody likes givin'.
       D
I wish I's back in Memphis, back home with my Momma.
         A
The only clothes I got left are these rags and my pjamas.
        E7
Yeah no brotherly love and no help with no danger.
         A
This's a great big town full of cold hearted strangers.



A
I went hungry into Georgia, Chicago was no better.

Well today my dear mother wrote and told me in Atlanta.
          D
Said come on back to Memphis and they'll help you raise your Momma.
        A
You can walk down Beale Street, honey wearing your pjamas.
         E7
You know folks down here they let you do just like you wanna.
      A
And I born you and raised you, right here on the corner.

A
I'm gonna get up in the mornin', goin' to the bus station.

I got just enough money you know to reach my destination.
          D
I'm goin' back to Memphis, back home to my Momma.
          A
I'm gonna ride that bus barefoot in my pjamas.
         E7
Yeah I'm goin' back to Memphis, no moanin' and a groanin'.
       A
I know everything'll be alright in the mornin'.
