MAYBE IT WAS MEMPHIS (by Michael Anderson; recorded by Pam Tillis)
------------------------------------------------------------------
[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]
[The little melody thing in the intro (and elsewhere) is just G and Gsus4;
 do it by using your index finger to switch back and forth quickly from
 3x0003 to 320013.  I marked it in the chords as G*.]

[intro]

G                        G                G                    C
Looking at you through a misty moonlight...
G                          G              G                       C
Porch swing swaying like a Tenn....
D            C              D                C
  What was I s'posed to do...
D         F           G    G*
  Lonely boy far ...

             G        G              C                C
Maybe it was Memphis,   maybe it was ....
             Am7               C                    G     G*
Maybe it was you, maybe it ...

Read about you in a Faulkner novel, ....

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was ....

[Guitar solo, same chords as chorus; see tab at end]

Every night now since I've been back home....

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe ...

GUITAR SOLO TAB:

* It's probably actually played in A with no capo, but I find it easier in G.
  (I got this by translating some piano sheet music into tablature.)
* "tri" denotes sixteenth-note triplets.  "triplets" are eighth triplets.
* The marks below the tab lines are timing; they're mostly accurate.
* An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on or pull-off.  When there wasn't room for
  the marker, I put the numbers and equal signs in parentheses below the tab.
  I did that so that 1=0 wouldn't be confused with the number 10 (ten).
