Oh, I've been down to Memphis
It's where my family goes to die
B
And as they all end up there
F#
So shall I
F#
Used my lucky dollar
Struck up my last match
B
But the end ain't coming fast enough
F#
to catch
C# B F#
And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again
C# B F#
Oh, my son, you're a sorry sight, choose again
F#
Catch me in the movies
Sleeping in my dirty clothes
B
If you ask me what I'm watching
F#
Who knows
F#
Got me a rich uncle
Can't ask for a loan
B
So, I guess I gotta make that money
F#
on my own
C# B F#
And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again
C# B F#
Oh, my son, you're a sorry sight, choose again

to give you enough room to descend all the way down to E]

G# F# E B
B
Heaven ain't got no place for me
But there's plenty of beds in hell
E
If you ask me how I'm doing
B
Not so well
B
Down with every symptom
Cherish every cough
E
And if you pass me that old bottle,
B
I'll polish it off
F# E B
And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again
F# E B
Oh, my son, you're a sorry sight, choose again
F# E B
And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again
F# E B
All your troubles will hold you tight, choose again
