verse 1 
F#m                  F#m7 
Monday looked like a downer 
F#m                 F#m7 
Tuesday looked like rain 
       E 
A bad altitude 
      B7               F#m 
And I knew I needed a change 


verse 2 

F#m              F#m7 
Head out on the highway 
F#m               F#m7 
Cruising way down south 
    E 
I knew a little place 
         B7                      F#m 
Where we might could work it all out 

 
D5       E                   F#m 
I'm so tired of fighting with myself 
        B5                       E      F#m 
Gonna spend a little time at the Tunica Motel 



verse 3 

F#m               F#m7   
Just outside of Memphis, 
F#m     F#m7 
Highway 61 
E                   B7 
Sleepy little town down by the 
             F#m 
Mississippi River 

verse 4 
F#m                     F#m7 
I'm gonna lay out on a houseboat 
F#m                 F#m7 
Until my hide turns brown 
E 
Ain't gonna move 'till the 
B7               F#m 
Evening sun goes down 

 
         D5          E                         F#m 
Fried chicken to go and they got live bait for sale 
 B5                      E      F#m 
Anything you need at the Tunica Motel 


Verse 5 
F#m                F#m7 
I find myself at midnight 
F#m                      F#m7 
Moving to the back porch blues 
    E             B7      
The guitar cries, telling me 
            F#m    
About the hard times 

verse 6 
F#m                      F#m7 
Something moves in the shadows 
F#m                F#m7 
Giving me a little chill 
             E 
I thought I saw Robert Johnson 
B7                     F#m 
Walking out across the field 

 
             D5             E                      F#m 
There ain't hardly anybody left who even knows the tale 
B5                     E      F#m 
Gimme the blues at the Tunica Motel
