Memphis Moon (CHORDS) by Mean Mary

[Intro]~
Am     G Am     G


[Verse 1]~
     Am                                    G
Got a midnight feelin’ since this afternoon

  Am
My soul needs the healin’ of the Memphis moon

      G        Dm
‘Cause when the night comes down with a thudding crash

  Am                                     G
My jeans become a gown with a silver sash


[Chorus]~
E7                  Am
A hoot owl sounds its eerie rhyme

E7                           Am
I guess it’s been around for a long,.. long time

   E7                Am
And while it sings its haunting tune

         D7                 E7    F  E7      Am
I’m gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon


[Interlude]~
Am     G Am     G


[Verse 2]~
Am                                     G
Dark waters swell to a riverboat’s cry

   Am                                   G
The stars all yell,.. and the willows sigh

Dm
Deep as death,.. oh,.. the Mighty Mississip’

    Am                                     G
Just rollin’ along like she’s takin’ a trip


[Chorus]~
E7                      Am
Makin’ her rounds in her muddy shoes

E7                      Am                E7
Dressin’ in browns,.. but singin’ in blues

                     Am
Midnight fever’s gonna hit me soon

         D7                 E7    F  E7      Am
I’m gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon


[Instrumental]~]~
Am     G Am     G Am


[Bridge]~
Time dances slow to the rhythm of my feet

Am
The moon hangs low over Beale Street


[Chorus]~
E7                  Am
A hoot owl sounds its eerie rhyme

E7                           Am
I guess it’s been around for a long,.. long time

   E7                 Am
And while it sings its haunting tune

         D7                 E7    F  E7      Am
I’m gonna dance by the light of the Memphis moon


[Outro]~
Am     G Am
