Intro
Riff1 x2

F#/Gbm F#/Gbm7
Monday looked like a downer
F#/Gbm Badd9
Tuesday looked like rain
E7
A bad altitude
B7
And I knew I needed a change
Riff 1

F#/Gbm F#/Gbm7
Head out on the highway
F#/Gbm Badd9
Cruising way down south
E7
I knew a little place
B7 Riff 1
Where I might could work it all out

D7 B7 Riff 1
I'm so tired of fighting with myself

D7 B7 Riff1
Gonna spend a little time at the Tunica Motel


F#/Gbm F#/Gbm7
Just outside of Memphis,
F#/Gbm Badd9
Highway 61
E7 B7
Sleepy little town down by the
Riff 1
Mississippi River
F# F#/Gbm7
I'm gonna lay out on a houseboat
F#/Gbm Badd9
Until my hide turns brown
E7
Ain't gonna move 'till the
B7 Riff 1
Evening sun goes down
D7 Riff 1
Fried chicken to go and they got live bait for sale
D7 B7
Anything you need at the Tunica Motel
Riff2 x5
Riff1

F#/Gbm F#/Gbm7
I find myself at midnight
F#/Gbm Badd9
Moving to the back porch blues
E7 B7
The guitar cries, telling me
Riff 1
About the hard times

F#/Gbm F#/Gbm7
Something moves in the shadows
F#/Gbm Badd9
Giving me a little chill
E7
I thought I saw Robert Johnson
B7 Riff 1
Walking out across the field
D7 B7 Riff 1
There ain't hardly anybody left who even knows the tale
D7 B7 Riff2
Gimme the blues at the Tunica Motel

Riff2 fade to end
