A                                                     E              B
Rain started fallin' on the roof that mornin', it was early summertime
          A                            E                    B
We fogged up the rear window of my '67 three-hundred, in-line
   A                                                    E                 B
My lungs have been hurtin' and it’s likely my liver has taken a lickin' too
     A                                  E                  B
Them Beale Street boys are handy with a clap on four and two
    A                                E                 B
The thrill is gone so slow and easy, won't you love me tender?
    A                              E              B
The way you move’s a drug and I am on a life-long bender
   A                                 E                 B
So rest them tired eyes and let your dress fall to the ground
          A                       E            B
We're the only onеs left who love Otis in this town
 
[Chorus]
    A           B           E    E
I need you like Mеmphis the blues
    A           B           E    E
I need you like Memphis the blues

A                                          E                 B
Cracked up skies tried on a couple lives to find the one that fit
A                                                   E              B
Cold wind comin’ and the heat quit runnin', but you keep my candle lit
A                                               E                       B
Pictures on the wall say it all with the kind-a-conviction make a river burn
          A                                                 E               B
You got a skeleton key on a chain around your neck, I got a chain around my heart
A                                                      E                    B
Church bells ringing in the air down the hill from the house where you were born
       A                                                         E                 B
I said baby don't you think we aught to live a little bit before Gabriel blows his horn
 
[Chorus]
    A           B           E    E
I need you like Memphis the blues
    A           B           E    E
I need you like Memphis the blues
