Dm
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Dm
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Dm
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
Dm
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
A                              C
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave

"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
A                         C

[Bridge]
Gm                 A                        Dm
Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
Gm               D#                    A#
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
A             Dm
What could you do?
