Motel in Memphis Lyrics

Intro: Em Am Am Em x2
Verse 1:
Were you there when the man from Atlanta was murdered in Memphis
Did you see him laying at the Lorraine Motel?
Did you hear them say that the CIA is witness?
To the murder of a man at a motel in Memphis
Chorus:
Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Run and tell somebody, there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water, rollin through Memphis
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died
Verse 2:
Did you see Coretta? She's sobbin on the corner in a black veil
Did you see Mr. Crump in a white coat grin
Did you walk down river where the cotton woods are swingin
With ghostly bodies of man
Chorus:
Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Run and tell somebody, there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water, rollin through Memphis
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died
Instrumental: (Play same chords and rhythm as the Chorus)
Verse 3:
Were you there with Mahalia wailin at the funeral
Did you watch them lower his casket in
Did you tremble when you thought about the future
And cry out for a modern man
Chorus:
Motel in Memphis, motel in Memphis
Run and tell somebody, there's blood on the riverside
Old muddy water, rollin through Memphis
If you were there you'd swear it was more than a man who died
