verse   C
        I hitchhiked up to memphis, a young boy in my prime
          F                                               C
        I thought that big old city would ease my Georgia mind
                               Am
        After just one hour, I met a Southern girl
                      F
        She said they call me the Queen of Memphis
                     G                  C
        And then she took me around the world


chorus        G      F              C
        I saw stars dancing on the water
                Am     G                 F
        I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes
                  G     F            C       F
        That old muddy river was my witness
             C               G                      C        F  C  G  C
        The night I fell in love with the queen of Memphis


break ....

verse...I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms
        She show'd me things I'd never seen back there on that farm
        She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams
        A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen

chorus....

              Am                                C
        Just like that old man river she keeps rolling thru my mind
                Am                             F                 G
        And you know I won't forget her 'cause she was one of a kind


chorus.....
                  F       G                      C         F  C  G  C
        And I am still in love with the Queen of Memphis
