                        E
Still remember that crackle
                     B
The needle laying down
C#m                                                 A
The stain of the glass in the chaple as we laid him in the ground
                E                               B
Their feet shuffling oh they might start running
                    C#m                             A
Yeah, I'll run that Mississippi 'til my feet hit Tennessee ground

Chorus:
                    E
Just like he told me

Never pray for change
                A
That Memphis rain


Verse:
                            E
Now my nightmare's my money
                        B
Been keeping my awake
            C#m                                                 A
Never knew what the blues could do to a boy that was given everything it takes
                        E                               B
Now the Cadillac's hummin and my heart starts pumping
                        C#m                                                     A
Yeah there ain't no doubt that there's no way out from everything I ever wanted


Chorus:
                        E
The pills and the pain
                        B
Never pray for change
                        A
That old Memphis Rain



Bridge:
            C#m             B               A
Ain't it gold, rock and roll, and it's mine
            C#m             B               A
Don't mistake what it takes to lose sight of the line
            C#m             B               F#m
Because in time you will find if you do


Solo:

E B C#m A
(x2?)


Verse:
                                E
Well they burned down Big Hill
                    B
And they marched away
            C#m                                      A
I can still see that old A-frame kickin' back off of that big lake
                E
I still go there
                        B
To the middle of no-where
            C#m                                     A
It's a lifetime left to me gotta build it up to what it oughta be


Chorus:
                        E
Just like he told me
                        B
Never pray for change
                    A
That 'ole Memphis Rain
