Pam Tillis - Maybe It Was Memphis

      [Intro]
 A       A


[Verse]
A
Looking at you through a misty moonlight
                     D
Katydid sing like a symphony
A
Porch swing swaying like a Tennessee lullaby
                           D
Melody blowing through the willow tree


[Pre Chorus]       
E             D
   What was I s'posed to do
E                D
  Standing there lookin’ at you?
E        G            A  
lonely boy far from home


[Chorus]              
 A
   Maybe it was Memphis
             D
Maybe it was southern summer nights
             Bm7                D                             
 Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
                 A           A    A             
But it sure felt right


 [Verse]
A
Read about you in a Faulkner novel
                  D
Met you once in a Williams' play
A
Heard about you in a country love song
                    D
Summer night beauty took my breath away


[Pre Chorus]                                     
E            D
  What was I s'posed to do
E                D
  Standing there lookin’ at you?
E        G            A
  Lonely boy far from home


[Chorus]                                                                                               
A
    Maybe it was Memphis
             D
Maybe it was southern summer nights
             Bm7               D
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
                 A
But it sure felt right


[Chorus]                                                                                              
A
    Maybe it was Memphis
             D
Maybe it was southern summer nights
             Bm7               D
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
                 A
But it sure felt right

A 
Every night now since I been back home
                           D
I lie awake drifting in my memory
A
Think about you on your mama's front porch swing
                     D
Talking that way, so soft to me


[Pre Chorus]                                                                             
E            D
  What was I s'posed to do
E                D
  Standing there lookin‘ at you?

  Lonely boy far from home
