A5 
We laid down outside Memphis 
                        D5 
Drawing patterns on the moon 
E5 
Our sleeping bags were all we had 
                 A5 
To keep away the dew 
 
I could not help but wonder 
A5                  D5     
If I could hold you tight 
           E5 
Since that evening chill 
 
I long to hold you still 
                            A5 
Haven't seen you since that night 
               D5 
But I close my eyes  
           A5 
And I feel fine 
                  E5           A5   A5 
Cause dreams come true by and by 
           D5 
I love you only 
              A5 
But I'm never lonely 
                    E5 
Cause you're always there 
                A5 
When I close my eyes 
 
For a time my life was easy 
                         D5 
Cause I always seemed to know 
              E5  
One day you'd think of me 
 
And finally see 
                     A5 
How much I loved you so 
 
But one cool October evening 
A5                D5 
Outside the rendezvous 
E5 
Through the fog and mist 
 
I saw two lovers kiss 
                             A5 
One looked an awful lot like you 
               D5 
But I close my eyes  
           A5 
And I feel fine 
                  E5           A5   A5 
Cause dreams come true by and by 
           D5 
I love you only 
              A5 
But I'm never lonely 
                    E5 
Cause you're always there 
                A5 
When I close my eyes 
 
SOLO 
 

A5 
As the rain hits my windshield 
                    D5 
It get louder every timee 
E5 
I cannot see 
 
Ahead of me 
                    A5 
As clear as I see behind 
A5 
I'm racing out of Memphis 
A5                D5 
Hard and fast and blind 
E5 
I Remember when 
 
I was your only friend 
                               A5 
Now I'm the last thing on your mind 
               D5 
But I close my eyes  
           A5 
And I feel fine 
                  E5           A5   A5 
Cause dreams come true by and by 
           D5 
I love you only 
              A5 
But I'm never lonely 
                    E5 
Cause you're always there 
                A5 
When I close my eyes
