very easy |||||
                                                                          D  
Well, I need a sip of muddy water
G                 C                                      D  
From my daddy's wishin' well
Scattered his ashes on the delta
G                                                    C                            D  
From here on I'll be drinkin' by myself
                G  
Where pink Cadillacs and blue suede shoes
             D  
Meet steel guitars and new grass blues
          G                                      C                                            A  
The music there, it ain't turned into business
G                                      C                                              D  
Tonight I'll be somewhere south of Memphis
                          G  
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
                     D  
And the blues runs deep in you blood
     G                                                                            A  
I love this land with God as my witness
             C         G      D      G                                              D  
I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis
                                                                                                D  
Well, I've seen my share of big ol' cities
G                                    C                                         D  
But I couldn't wait to get back home
Well, they'll play you a, a front porch song for free
             G                                                      C                                                 D  
That reminds you that they ain't been free for long
                             G  
Where them juke joints jump on a Friday night
                                     D  
And you don't need a gun to settle no fight
                        G                                                                              C                              A  
And come Sunday mornin', hell, you'll be beggin' for forgiveness
G                                         C                                              D  
That's just life somewhere south of Memphis
                          G  
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
                     D  
And the blues runs deep in your blood
     G                                                                            A  
I love this land with God as my witness

I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis
