MEMPHIS PEARL (Lucinda Williams & Lorne Rall)
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
[Each chord is one measure (3/4 time)]
|
|
[Maybe in G with a capo at the 2nd fret; I'm not sure]
|
|
|
|
|
|
A A D A A
|
|
Back in Memphis she was a pearl
|
|
|
|
A A D A A
|
|
She was everyone's favorite girl
|
|
|
|
D D D A A A A
|
|
Now her eyes have a vacant stare
|
|
|
|
A A D A A A A
|
|
What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there
|
|
|
|
|
|
She married a man when she left home
|
|
She wanted someone she could call her own
|
|
He was good to her when he wasn't drunk
|
|
He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked
|
|
|
|
Back in Memphis where she grew up
|
|
The life she knew was just not enough
|
|
Back in Memphis when she was a girl
|
|
She thought one day she'd own the world
|
|
|
|
She'd look at the TV and magazines
|
|
And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen
|
|
She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet
|
|
But those things don't mean much out here on the street
|
|
|
|
Back in Memphis she had fun
|
|
Goin' around, tellin' everyone
|
|
She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side
|
|
And wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive
|
|
|
|
She bounces her baby on her knee
|
|
Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky, you'll see
|
|
I promise it won't always be like this
|
|
Come here, sugar, give Mama a kiss
|
|
|
|
Back in Memphis another time
|
|
Didn't look like things would turn out fine
|
|
Back in Memphis when she was a girl
|
|
She thought one day she'd own the world
|
|
|
|
Back in Memphis she was a pearl |
