E B C#m A (x2)

Verse:
            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
          B
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
