Monday looked like a downer
m
Tuesday looked like rain
A bad altitude
And I knew I needed a change
Riff 1
m m7
Head out on the highway
m
Cruising way down south
I knew a little place
B7 Riff 1
Where I might could work it all out
D7 B7 Riff 1
I'm so tired of fighting with myself
D7 B7 Riff1
Gonna spend a little time at the Tunica Motel
m m7
Just outside of Memphis,
m
Highway 61
Sleepy little town down by the
Riff 1
Mississippi River
m7
I'm gonna lay out on a houseboat
m
Until my hide turns brown
Ain't gonna move 'till the
B7 Riff 1
Evening sun goes down
D7 Riff 1
Fried chicken to go and they got live bait for sale
Anything you need at the Tunica Motel
Riff2 x5
Riff1
m m7
I find myself at midnight
m
Moving to the back porch blues
The guitar cries, telling me
Riff 1
About the hard times
m m7
Something moves in the shadows
m
Giving me a little chill
I thought I saw Robert Johnson
B7 Riff 1
Walking out across the field
D7 B7 Riff 1
There ain't hardly anybody left who even knows the tale
D7 B7 Riff2
Gimme the blues at the Tunica Motel
Riff2 fade to end
