  MEMPHIS PEARL (Lucinda Williams & Lorne Rall)

  ---------------------------------------------

  [Each chord is one measure (3/4 time)]

  [Maybe in G with a capo at the 2nd fret; I'm not sure]

  

  

  A       A       D         A     A

  Back in Memphis she was a pearl

  

  A       A          D        A    A

  She was everyone's favorite girl

  

  D       D           D      A     A   A   A

  Now her eyes have a vacant stare

  

       A            A          D           A     A    A    A

  What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there

  

  

  She married a man when she left home

  She wanted someone she could call her own

  He was good to her when he wasn't drunk

  He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked

  

  Back in Memphis where she grew up

  The life she knew was just not enough

  Back in Memphis when she was a girl

  She thought one day she'd own the world

  

  She'd look at the TV and magazines

  And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen

  She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet

  But those things don't mean much out here on the street

  

  Back in Memphis she had fun

  Goin' around, tellin' everyone

  She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side

  And wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive

  

  She bounces her baby on her knee

  Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky, you'll see

  I promise it won't always be like this

  Come here, sugar, give Mama a kiss

  

  Back in Memphis another time

  Didn't look like things would turn out fine

  Back in Memphis when she was a girl

  She thought one day she'd own the world

  

  Back in Memphis she was a pearl
