 A                 A G                   G   A     D A*
Well it's the same  rhythm that's played in Memphis
     A                  A       G                   G   A  D A*
The face shows no pain but the beat is the same in New York

      C                           A
And speed is just a bird in the night
         D
Carries sorrow as it flies no fixed flight
 D
It's heard out there

              A
You say your name is the same
 A          G            G         A   D A*
But you're just not able to live white
             A
You can't believe what is real
    A           G                 G       A  D A*
Because what's real for you, may not be right

         C                           A
And the alleys and streets stay the same
          D
And you think you know what's to blame
    D
It just ain't right

     C                            A
