Song: Last Train To Memphis Artist: Elliott Murphy Album: Beauregard (1998) Tabbed by: Javier de la Fuente [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
