[Intro]
G C G C G C G C
[Verse]
G C
Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong
G C
sitting in the cold when the truck pulled along
G C
Driven by the boy in the dyed black hair
G C
Asked him where he's going and he said eveywhere
[Chorus]
D Em
And ohhh, it's the last train to Memphis
D Em
And ohhh, don't you wonder where it's gonna take us
C
But I gotta get back, get the train on the track
C
Nose to the grindstone pick up the slack
[Interlude]
G C G C
[Verse]
G C
Governor Wallace and Robert E. Lee
G C
Wonder what these rebels would think of me
G C
Love me tender on a highway sixty one
G C
In every other car someone's carrying a gun
[Chorus]
D Em
And ohhh, it's the last train to Memphis
D Em
And ohhh, don't you wonder where it's gonna take us
C
But I gotta get back, put the train on the track
C
Stoke up the fire, pick up the slack
[Bridge]
F Am
It's a land of dreams, it's not all it seems
G F
It's a store of Tupelo honey
F Am
Down the freedom trail, on a cotton bail
Em D D D D D
It's the overnight mail
[Interlude]
G C G C G C
[Verse]
G C
Stonewall Jackson and Pickett's Charge
G C
Mississippi River and life on a barge
G C
Wal Mart shopping on a Sunday afternoon
G C
Chicken fried steak couldn't come too soon
[Chorus]
D Em
And ohhh, it's the last train to Memphis
D Em
And ohhh, don't you wonder where it's gonna take us
C
But I gotta get back, put the train on the track
C
Upstairs Graceland heart attack
C
Too many ribs right off the rack
C
Thought I knew the answer but I never look back
[Outro]
