     G7
Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee

G7
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me

    C
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call

          G7                                            C
'cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
[Verse 2]
   G7
So help me, information, get in touch with my Marie

          G7
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis, Tennessee

    C
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge

G7                                      C
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
[Guitar Solo] G7 G7 C G7 C [Verse 3]
    G7
The last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye

      G7
With "hurry home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

    C
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree

    G7                                          C
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
[Verse 4]
   G7
So help me, information, more than that, I cannot add

G7
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had

  C
Marie is only six years old so information, please

G7                                             C
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee

   G7                                             C
So try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
