Am                Em                       Am     Dm 
Tea for two stars falling from the memphis sky (x2) 
Am                               C 
I know the night bird called you now 
Em             Am 
Everything is fine 
  Dm                          E7 
I know it's soon to be fading out 
    F              C 
But oh, didn't we shine 
C         G 
Didn't we shine 


Am                      Em                   Am      Dm 
Some people say that the memphis blues ain't bad (x2) 
          Am                  C 
Put your little hand in mine darling 
Em                   Am 
I know you're fading fast 
   Dm                            E7 
It weren't the memphis blues you had 
    F              C        C          G 
But baby you still shine 


Am               Em                   Am      Dm 
Goodbye my love, goodbye my love, goodbye 
           Am                        C 
Turn your lamp down low my love, goodbye 
          Em                                   Am 
I hear the whistle singing now to the lonesome pine 
  Dm                  E7 
I know that we faded out 
    F             C 
But oh, didn't we shine 
C          G 
Didn't we shine
