[Intro]
 
C    G    D    G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
  G
I hitchhiked up to Memphis, a young boy in my prime
  C                                               G
I thought that big old city could ease my Georgia mind
G                      Bm
After just one hour, I met this Southern girl
              C
She said they call me the Queen of Memphis
         D                  G
Then she took me around the world
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      D     C              G
I saw stars dancing on the water
        Em    D                  C
I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes
         D     C            G       C
That old muddy river was my witness
    G               D                      G
The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis
 
 
[Interlude]
 
C    G    D    G
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  G
I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms
    C                                                  G
She showed me things I'd never seen back there on that farm
    G                           Bm
She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams
  C                                  D                   G
A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      D     C              G
I saw stars dancing on the water
        Em    D                  C
I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes
         D     C            G       C
That old muddy river was my witness
    G               D                      G
The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis
 
 
[Bridge]
 
D/F# Em                                G
Just like that old man river she keeps rolling through my mind
D/F#    Em                             C                D
And you know I won't forget her 'cause she was one of a kind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      D     C              G
I saw stars dancing on the water
        Em    D                  C
I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes
         D     C            G       C
That old muddy river was my witness
    G               D                      G
The night I fell in love with the Queen of Memphis
 
 
[Ending]
 
    G             D                      G
And I am still in love with the Queen of Memphis
 
C    G    D    G
