Chords

[Intro] E B C#m A (x2) [Verse 1]
                     E
Still remember that crackle

                   B
The needle laying down

    C#m                                     A
The stain of the glass in the chapel as we laid him in the ground

                  E                                B
Their feet start shuffling, oh, honey, mine start running

            C#m                          A
Yeah, I'll run that Mississippi 'til my feet hit Tennessee ground
[Chorus]
             E
Just like he told me

             B
Never pray for change

              A
That old Memphis rain
[Verse 2]
                    E
Now my nightmares, mama

                 B
Been keeping me awake

       C#m                                           A
Never knew what the blues could do to a boy that was given everything it takes

                    E                           B
Now the Cadillac's hummin' and my heart starts pumping

             C#m                                             A
Yeah, there ain't no doubt that there's no way out from everything I ever wanted
[Chorus]
                   E
The pills and the pain

             B
Never pray for change

              A
That old Memphis rain
[Bridge]
         C#m            B               A
Ain't it gold, rock and roll, and it's mine

         C#m          B                           A
Don't mistake what it takes to lose sight of the line

           C#m           B            F#m
Because in time you will find if you do
[Solo] E B C#m A (x2) [Verse 3]
                        E
Well, they burned down Big Hill

                  B
And they marched away

       C#m                               A
I can still see that old A-frame kickin' back off of that big lake

        E
I still go there

                  B
To the middle of nowhere

        C#m                                A
It's a lifetime left to me, gotta build it up to what it oughta be
[Chorus]
             E
Just like he told me

             B
Never pray for change

              A
That old Memphis rain
