Verse 1

              A                         A                 E
I've seen the bright lights of Memphis, and the Commodore Hotel
    E                                          A
And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle
        D              A                         E
Oh, she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
            E                                         A
And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well

Verse 2

          A
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
A                      E
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
    E7          E
And we can walk together
E7      A D A
Down in Dixieland
E7      A D A
Down in Dixieland

Verse 3

We made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine
Then the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells, or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk On the house at the end of town
        D        A                          E
Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain
        E                                                  A
And the nights we spent together And the way she called my name

Chorus

      A
Well, many years since she ran away Yes that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along She always handy with a song
But then one night at the lobby of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well
    D            A                            E
And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song
    E7           E                  E7       E    A
And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing along
