You'll follow wherever they go

That's how I got to Memphis
                    E

  B                            A
I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me
                  E
'Cause you are my friend
B                        A
I've got to find her and find out
                  E    B
The trouble she's in

If you tell me that she ain't here

She used to get mad and she'd say
      E                         C#m
She'd come back to Memphis some day

E                A
I haven't eaten a bite
   E                        C#m
Or slept for three days and nights
                    F#m     B
That's how I got to Memphis
                    E
That's how I got to Memphis

I've got to find her and tell her

I'll never rest till I find out
              E    B
Why she had to go
