E A E Well she drew out all her money from the Southern Trust B E And put her little boy on the Greyhound Bus A E Leaving Memphis with a guitar in his hand B E With a one way ticket to the Promised Land A E Hey little girl with the red dress on B E There's party tonight down in Memphis town A E I'll be going down there if you need a ride B E | E | A E | E | B E The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died A E We drove to Memphis the sky was hard and black B E Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac A E They drawed out all his money and they laid him in the back B E A woman cried from the roadside "Oh he's gone, he's gone" A E They found him slumped up against the drain B E With a whole lotta trouble running through his veins A E Bye bye Johnny, Johnny bye bye B E You didn't have to die, you didn't have to die (Fade out) E | A E | E | B E E A B -0--0--2- -0--2--4- -1--2--4- -2--2--4- -2--0--2- -0-------
