'Memphis Tennessee' by Chuck Berry ...sung by me

Possibly Chuck Berry's most covered song ...quite a sad tale for a rock 'n' roll song!

I enjoyed that also but you forgot the E major (7th fret) to Bmin7 (7th fret) intro. Try it, it's nice, and it makes for a poignant ending for the song. As much as I love Chuck's original, nothing will ever compare to Lonnie Mack's version.

I simplified my version in the way that Chuck plays it live ...and changed the key.

Thanks. I think I know what you mean ...it's concentration ...not constipation.

Johnny Rivers had the absolute best version of this tune, but this guy is great.
