G Em
I was looking to light a candle
CD
Found a book of matches in a draw from the Peabody Hotel in Memphis
G EmC D
Got me thinking about this trip I took along the Mississippi River
C DGEmC
We met Jackie who is still cryin about Martin Luther King
C D G Em
She is camped outside the old Lorraine Hotel cause now they're turnng it into
C<>
a museum
C D GEm
That was the time we spent in Memphis
C D GEm
That was the time we spent in Memphis
C D EmG
That was the time we spent in Memphis
C D GEm
Seems like such a long long time ago
Pulled down some old photographs
Had ourselves some laughs
there's a picture of the two of us
we're standing in the middle of the Beale Street
We met Ruby who sang the blues and called herslf the queen
I met the king out on the sidewalk and said how are you doin B.B.
That was the time we spent in Memphis

That was the time we spent in Memphis That was the time we spent in Memphis
Seems like such a long long time ago
I drove past the hospital
thats where they say the king of Rock n roll died
Made a stop up at Graceland watched some woman just cry cry
The Lisa Marie set Elvis fre as he flew into the sky
years and years have passed by people still shake their heads wondering why
That was the time we spent in Memphis That was the time we spent in Memphis That was the time we spent in Memphis
