Intro: D (listen to song for rhythm)
Well, I need a sip of muddy [D]water
[G]From my [C]daddy's wishin' [D]well
Scattered his ashes on the delta
[G]From here on I'll be [C]drinkin' by [D]myself
Where [G]pink Cadillacs and blue suede shoes
Meet [D]steel guitars and new grass blues
The [G]music there, it [C]ain't turned into [A]business
[G]Tonight I'll be [C]somewhere south of [D]Memphis
Where the [G]cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
I'll [C]live [G]and [D]die [G]somewhere south of [D]Memphis
Well, I've seen my share of big ol' [D]cities
[G]But I couldn't [C]wait to get back [D]home
Well, they'll play you a, a front porch song for free
That [G]reminds you that they [C]ain't been free for [D]long
Where them [G]juke joints jump on a Friday night
And you don't [D]need a gun to settle no fight
And come [G]Sunday mornin', hell, you'll be[C] beggin' for [A]forgiveness
[G]That's just life [C]somewhere south of [D]Memphis
Where the [G]cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
And the [D]blues runs deep in your blood
I [G]love this land with God as my [A]witness
I'll [C]live [G]and [D]die [G]somewhere south of [D]Memphis
Solo- G,Dx2 G,A
Yeah, where the [G]cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
And the [D]blues runs deep in your blood
Well, I [G]love this land with God as my [A]witness
Well, I'll [C]live [G]and d[D]ie
I'll said I'll, [C]I'll [G]live and [DGD]die [G]somewhere south of [D]Memphis[G][C]
That's just [D]life
