If you love somebody enough, you'll follow wherever they go

  E                            D                         A 
I know if you'd seen him you'd tell me 'cause you are my friend 
E                        D                         A   E  
I've got to find him and find out the trouble he's in  
 
 
       A                      D  
If you tell me that she's not here

Solo 
 
 
He would get mad and he used to say 
That he'd come back to Memphis someday 
That's how I got to Memphis 
That's how I got to Memphis 
I haven't eaten a bite 
Or slept for three days and nights 
That's how I got to Memphis 
That's how I got to Memphis 
 
I've got to find him and tell her that I love him so 
I'll never rest 'til I find out why he had to go 
 
Thank you for your precious time 
Forgive me if I start to cryin' 
That's how I got to Memphis 
That's how I got to Memphis 
That's how I got to Memphis 
That's how I got to Memphis
