[Verse 1]
Bm/F#           D/F# G
      Forgot my six- string razor
G#dim        E/G# A
      Hit the sky
Bm               Bm7 A         G  D/F# Em D Dmaj7sus2/C# D Em7
Half way to   Memph  is 'fore I re a  li sed
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm/F#               D/F# G
     Well I rang the    information
G#dim           E/G# A
      My axe was cold
Bm             Bm7 A                  G5 D4/F#
  They said she   rides the train to O-riole
G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5
 
 
[Chorus]
           A7                       D
Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail
        A7                   D
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
      A7                    D
And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail
G  D/F#  Em7  D  A/C#  Bm#5  A7sus4   G   D       G
               (All the way from Memphis)

Bm/F#              D/F# G
      Well I got to Oriole y'know
G#dim                E/G# A
      It took a month
Bm           Bm7 A                    G  D/F# Em D Dmaj7sus2/C# D Em7
   And there was my guitar, electric junk
 
 
[Verse 4]
Bm/F#               D/F# G
     Some spade said    Rock'n'rollers
G#dim                   E/G# A
      You're all the same
Bm                  Bm7 A
   Man, that's your in  strument.
  G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5 D4/F# G5
I felt so ashamed
 
 
[Chorus]
           A7                   D
Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
            A7                      D
Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles
        A7                          D
And you look like a star but you're still on the dole
G   D/F#  Em7  D  A/C#  Bm#5  A7sus4   G
                (All the way from Memphis)

Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll
         A7                     D
From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
        A7                             D
And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes
G   D/F#  Em7  D  A/C#  Bm#5  A7sus4   G
                (All the way from Memphis)
 
 
[Chorus]
            A7                   D
Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
         A7                   D
As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold
         A7                           D
And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old
G   D/F#  Em7  D  A/C#  Bm#5  A7sus4   G
                (All the way from Memphis)

Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
            A7                      D
Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles
        A7                                 D
And you look like a star but you're really out on parole
G   D/F#  Em7  D  A/C#  Bm#5  A7sus4   G
                (All the way from Memphis)
