[Intro]
C F Am F
C G F G
[Verse 1]
C F Soon the sun will rise C F Outside the streets are quiet Am Not a car on the road G F G Not a soul in sight C F I'll bet it's ninety degrees C F There's no escape from the heat Am The dead of night G F G Still climbs up from the street
[Chorus]
Am G F I've been up all night drinking alone Am G F I ain't got no business out on the road Dm Em G C G I love mornings in Memphis
[Verse 2]
C F I could take a stroll C F Sometimes when I'm on my own Am I walk down Beale Street G F G Real nice and slow C F Walk up to the river's edge C F Get down under the bridge Am Highway over G F G High lonesome overhead C F I stand all alone in the dark C F Pay no mind to the sky full of stars Am Try not to think G F G Just listen to my heart
[Chorus]
Am G F There's boats passing by Am G F I'm skipping stones and gettin' high Dm Em G C G I love mornings in Memphis
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Am F Long after the midnight C G Before the sunrise F G Tracing fingers in the dust F G The stark and the sober up
[Verse 3]
C F The dawning light C F Stars fade to a clear blue sky Am No sign of life G F G Over on the Arkansas side C F Oh but before I cop C F Wait for the sun itself to show Am A new daylight G F G Muddy water turned to gold
[Chorus]
Am G F Maybe I should just stay in Am G F I know I'll be back this way again Dm Em G C I love mornings in Memphis
[Outro]
Dm Em G
