     That's How I Got To Memphis

     Written by:  Tom T. Hall
     Perfomed 1996/1997 by:  Deryl Dodd
     Transcribed by:  Keith Reding

     This song is an old remake originally written by Tom T. Hall in 1968.
     It is much easier to play if you play each chord up + step.

     Intro:

     I don't have an easy way of notating the tabs but the intro licks are
     not difficult.
