the day since I met her     I   can't believe it's true
          Eb       Cm      G#6     G#  Fm
she came here from memphis  across the ocean 
Eb6               Eb Cm
sailing and i saw her and i pleaded
G#6             G# G#6           Fm
why do you come so   far and she said
Cm               Eb   Cm                    Eb
Trying to get to you  How I tried to get to you
Cm               Eb  *A6 A  B6 B
Trying to get to you

*A6 A  B6 B

I'm sending a letter  I'll   send it right to you
          Eb    Cm     G#6     G#   Fm
I'll send it to memphis I know that someday
Eb6             Eb Cm      
everything I needed and I wanted
G#6             G# G#6         Fm
used to be that my head was haunted

(Riff 1)
and all these sirens they make me mad
and all this violence it brings me down
i feel strong i feel lucky

Cm               Eb   Cm		       Eb
Trying to get to you  Said I'm going to get to you
Cm		 Eb  *A6 A  B6 B
Trying to get to you
