Memphis Chords

(ver. 1)
Rancid
[Intro]
 
A
D
 
 
[Verse]
 
                    D
I've lived my whole life, made mistakes from the get-go
G
Street kid from the start, right, no regrets though,
D
I do what I want, yeah, 'cause I said so,
G
No sleep for the weak, right? No, bet no.
D
Rollin' with the punk rockers I ain't lying,
     G
Fake guns, fake bands fake punk, I ain't buying,
D
Hit the road all I know Rock and roll ain't dying about
G
Fifteen deep we hit the streets low ridin.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       D                      F#m
By the time we made it to New Orleans,
   G                        D
It must have been half past three.
       Bm                 D/A
By the time we made it to Memphis,
        A
We were crazy.
   D            F#m
Tonight, draw a blanket,
      G                 D
And a pillow to keep us warm,
  Bm        D/A     A
Tonight, protect us from the storm.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                    D
He was back, causing trouble time's they're a comin' round,
G
Oh no, let me go to another round,
D
Tuesday night is when the storm's gonna settle down,
G
Had a glance, circumstance don't cause, trouble bound,
D
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin',
G
Smoke and mirrors as I watch aw that girl was trippin',
D
It's no fun, lost again to have your heart broken,
G
Greed is from a world that is built on hustling.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
       D                      F#m
By the time we made it to New Orleans,
   G                        D
It must have been half past three.
       Bm                 D/A
By the time we made it to Memphis,
        A
We were crazy.
   D            F#m
Tonight, draw a blanket,
      G                 D
And a pillow to keep us warm,
  Bm        D/A     A
Tonight, protect us from the storm.
 
 
[Interlude]
 
D
 
[Bridge]
 
G                                 F#m
Embrace the fallen when they have failed,
A                      D                        A
Every road can lead ya straight down to f**king hell,
G                                 F#m
Embrace the fallen when they have failed,
A                      D                A
Every road can take ya straight down to hell.
 
 
[Solo]
 
D
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D
Doing nothing here, everyone straight trippin,
G
Happier times are gone past start slippin,
D
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin,
G
Good every night, in a different city I'll be sleepin,
D
Let me know, here we go, met a girl named Lola,
G
Is she here? Is she there? Drinking Jack and cola,
D
She says, "Tim, where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya,
G
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and rollin!
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
       D                      F#m
By the time we made it to New Orleans,
   G                        D
It must have been half past three.
       Bm                 D/A
By the time we made it to Memphis,
        A
We were crazy.
   D            F#m
Tonight, draw a blanket,
      G                 D
And a pillow to keep us warm,
  Bm        D/A     A               D
Tonight, protect us from the storm.
