CHORDS: Joy Oladokun – Memphis Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2
h Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2



[Verse 1]
G6sus2
Are you gonna 
call me in the 
orning?
Dsus2
\'Cause I noticed
 the look in 
your eyes
G6sus2
When our hands 
touched, 
glancing like
Bm11            
Boxers fighting 
        Dsus2
for championship
 prizes
G6sus2     
I was just
 looking 
      Bm11
for a good 
time, I
Dsus2         
Never thought 
    Em7
I\'d find it

G6sus2  Dsus2


[Verse 2]
    G6sus2       
But I\'ll be back 
Bm11        
on the 9 to 
G6sus2     Dsus2
5 grind tomorrow
Dsus2         
Times is hard 
DM7sus2
and the bills are 
due
G6sus2
I can barely make
 ends meet
Bm11         
I can\'t take 
Dsus2
care of you, so
G6sus2
Oh I know we\'ve
 had a good ride
Bm11           
But there\'s no 
Dsus2       Em7
pressure to follow 
through


[Interlude]
G6sus2  Dsus2


[Chorus]
G6sus2
\'Cause I\'ve never
 crossed the ocean, 
I\'ve
Dsus2
Only stood barefoot 
on the shore
G6sus2       
Never been to 
Memphis 
Bm11          
but I swear I 
Dsus2
will someday,
 and if I,
G6sus2      
If I\'m being 
honest
 I\'ve 
Dsus2
never been in
 love 
before, I\'ve
Em7
Just been 
chasing
 shadows
G6sus2       
Praying that 
   Dsus2
it waits for me


[Interlude]


Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2


[Verse 2]
G6sus2
And you\'re not
 gonna call me in
 the morning
Dsus2
That\'s all right, 
dear, it\'s no 
surprise
G6sus2
Plus I heard
you got 
a girl back 
home
Dsus2
She must have
 slipped
 your mind while
G6sus2               
We were out having a 
      Bm11  Dsus2
good time          And
G6sus2
These things always
 happen without warning
Dsus2
In the morning you
 won\'t know my name
G6sus2     Bm11   
Always the spark, 
          Dsus2
never the flame


[Chorus]
G6sus2
\'Cause I\'ve 
never
 crossed the 
ocean
Dsus2
I\'ve only stood
 barefoot on the
 shore
G6sus2 
Never been to 
Memphis 
Bm11          
but I swear I 
Dsus2
will someday,
 and if I
G6sus2    
If I\'m being 
honest 
     Dsus2
I\'ve never 
been in 
love before,
 I\'ve
Em7
Just been 
chasing
 shadows
G6sus2       
Praying that 
   Dsus2
it waits


[Bridge]
Dsus2  
And    
Em7     G6sus2 
I-I-I-I-I can be
 alone 
Dsus2    DM7sus2
a little longer if 
it means
G6sus2           
That love is rising
 like the 
Dsus2           
dawn to shine on
 Em7  G6sus2
 me
G6sus2           
I\'m running on, 
Dsus2 
life ain\'t half as 
DM7sus2    
long as it 
  | h Em7 G6sus2
seems
G6sus2       
And it\'s not 
      Dsus2
gonna wait for me

[Final Chorus]
G6sus2        
I\'m gonna cross the 
ocean, 
Dsus2
swim \'til I lose
 the 
shore, I\'ve
G6sus2  
Never been to 
Memphis 
Bm11          
but I\'m on my 
Dsus2
way, and I-I-
G6sus2      
I\'m just being 
honest, 
         Dsus2
no, I\'ve never been
 in love before
         Em7
But I\'ve seen its 
shadow
G6sus2 Dsus2
        Em7
Oh I\'ve seen 
its shadow
G6sus2 Dsus2
Yes I\'ve 
Em7
seen its shadows
G6sus2          
Praying that it 
Dsus2     
waits for 
Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2
me
Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2
Oooooooooooooooooh
