[Intro]
E E E E

[Verse]
E Ab
Staring down the blacktop at a cold dark night, boys
A F#
Pitch black sky there ain't a star in sight
E
But I'm looking for a change
B7 E B7
I'm passing through Memphis in the rain

[Verse]
E Ab
Whitewashed buildings and old overgrown yards
A F#
I've got one hand on the wheel, I've got one on my heart
E
Looking for a girl without a name
B7 E
I'm passing through Memphis in the rain

[Bridge]
A/E E
But no matter what I do, Lord, I can't stop
A/E
Gotta keep that hammer to the floor baby
B7
Until I'm clear out of Arkansas, mama cause

[Verse]
E Ab
I know what they can do to me, Lord and I
A F#
Won't let them make a fool out of me
E
Things are starting to get strange
B7 E B7
Passing through Memphis in the rain

E Ab A F# E B7 E
E Ab A F# E B7 E B7

[Bridge]
A/E E
Sometimes a man's just gotta know when to go
A/E
He's gotta earn himself a keepin', baby
B7
He's gotta know when he's been beaten

[Verse]
E Ab
So I called a cousin down in Houston
A F#
He said "come on down boy, we got work for you to be doing"
E
I'm looking for a change
B7 E
Passing through Memphis in the rain

Yeah things are startin' to get strange
B7 E
I'm passing through Memphis in the rain
