Introdução:
D
(verse)
D A
It ain't natural for a delta man,
G A
To be surrounded by all this sand,
D A
To fear the echoes of live rounds,
G A
To never sleep when the sun goes down,
(Bridge)
Bm A G
So I'm writing you this letter,
D Em7
To say I miss you more than ever and to promise you this,
G A D
WHEN I make it back to Memphis,
G A D
I'm gonna take you in my arms,
Bm G
And never let you go,
A D
And girl I promise you a kiss,
F#m Bm A- G
For every day we've missed,
A D
'Til I make it back to Memphis,
(verse)
Bm A G
She reads his letters everyday,
A Bm
Then she puts them all away,
A G
Next to his medal and a flag,
F#m Em D- G
That she would gladly give back,
G A D
If it would bring him back to Memphis,
G A D
So he could take her in his arms,
A Bm G
And never let her go,
A D
Cause he promised her a kiss,
F#m Bm A- G
For every day they've missed,
A D
'Til he made it back to Memphis,
G A D C- G- D
If he could only make it back to Memphis,
D
Back to Memphis
Back to Memphis
