MAYBE IT WAS MEMPHIS (by Michael Anderson; recorded by Pam Tillis) ------------------------------------------------------------------ [Actually in A; capo 2.] [Each chord is half a measure.] [The little melody thing in the intro (and elsewhere) is just G and Gsus4; do it by using your index finger to switch back and forth quickly from 3x0003 to 320013. I marked it in the chords as G*.] G G* G G* [intro] G G G C Looking at you through a misty moonlight... G G G C Porch swing swaying like a Tenn.... D C D C What was I s’posed to do... D F G G* Lonely boy far ...
G G C C Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was .... Am7 C G G* Maybe it was you, maybe it ... Read about you in a Faulkner novel, .... Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was .... [Guitar solo, same chords as chorus; see tab at end] Every night now since I’ve been back home.... Maybe it was Memphis, maybe ... Maybe it was you, .... Maybe it was Memphis, .... Maybe it was you, maybe it ... Am7 C G G* Maybe it was you, maybe it .... G C/G G G* Ohhh, you know it .... G C/G G G* Oh, maybe it ... G C/G G G* Maybe it ... G C/G G G* Maybe it ... G C G G* G C G G* Maybe it was ....[repeat/fade] GUITAR SOLO TAB: * It’s probably actually played in A with no capo, but I find it easier in G. (I got this by translating some piano sheet music into tablature.) * ¨tri¨ denotes sixteenth-note triplets. ¨triplets¨ are eighth triplets. * The marks below the tab lines are timing; they’re mostly accurate. * An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on or pull-off. When there wasn’t room for the marker, I put the numbers and equal signs in parentheses below the tab. I did that so that 1=0 wouldn’t be confused with the number 10 (ten).
