[Intro] (x2)
G Em
[Verse]
G Em
The home of the blues is where I live
C Em D
Trapped in- side these lonely walls that don't forgive
G Em
Surrounded by a memory
C Em D
Her goodbye haunts me like a Beale Street melody
C D
And I've done everything, but get down on my knees
C Em Am D
And if my tears will set, this ghost inside me free
[Chorus]
G Em
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, I'm goin' three times under
Am D
Gonna drown my sorrows with tears that roll like thunder
G Em
'Til I can find the strength, 'til I can carry on
Am B C D G
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, when they heard the King was gone
[Verse]
G Em
Love me tender cuts through the dark
C Em D
Comin' from an open window of a passing car
G Em
And in that moment, oh, I believe
C Em D
That I can almost feel your body next to me
C D
But one heart beatin' slowly brings me back around
C Em Am D
I know you're gone and I know when I break- down
[Chorus]
G Em
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, I'm goin' three times under
Am D
Gonna drown my sorrows with tears that roll like thunder
G Em
'Til I can find the strength, 'til I can carry on
Am BC D G
I'm gonna cry like Memphis, when they heard the King was gone
[Instrumental]

G Em
'Til I can find the strength, 'til I can carry on
