Motel in Memphis
By: Old Crow Medicine Show



Intro: Em Am Am Em x2


Verse 1:

Am Em
Were you there when the man from Atlanta was murdered in Memphis
Am Em
Did you see him laying at the Lorraine Motel?
Am Em
Did you hear them say that the CIA is witness?
C D Em D/F#
To the murder of a man at a motel in Memphis


Chorus:

Em Am
Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Em D/F#
Run and tell somebody, there's blood on the riverside
Em Am
Old muddy water, rollin through Memphis
Em
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died


Em C Am C D Em


Verse 2:

Am Em
Did you see Coretta? She's sobbin on the corner in a black veil
Am Em
Did you see Mr. Crump in a white coat grin
Am Em
Did you walk down river where the cotton woods are swingin
C D Em D/F#
With ghostly bodies of man


Chorus:

Em Am
Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Em D/F#
Run and tell somebody, there's blood on the riverside
Em Am
Old muddy water, rollin through Memphis
Em
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died


Instrumental: (Play same chords and rhythm as the Chorus)


Verse 3:

Am Em
Were you there with Mahalia wailin at the funeral
Am Em
Did you watch them lower his casket in
Am Em
Did you tremble when you thought about the future
C D Em D/F#
And cry out for a martyred man


Chorus:

Em Am
Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Em D/F#
Run and tell somebody, there's blood on the riverside
Em Am
Old muddy water, rollin through Memphis
Em
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died
