C                         F
You don't love me this I know
                              C
Don't need a bible to tell me so
                           G
I hung around a little too long
                       C
I was good but now I'm gone
            F
Like the buffalo
               C
That boy from Tupelo
            G
Any way the wind can blow
                 C
That's where I'm gonna go
                    F
I'll be gone like a five and dime
             C
It'll be the perfect crime
                      G
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
                      C
He's the king and he oughta know
     C                        F
The shoulder I've been leanin on
                               C
Is the coldest place I've ever known
                                 G
There's nothin left for me round here
                            C
Looks like it's time to disapear
            F
Like the buffalo
                C
That boy from Tupelo
                     G
The old wall down in jericho
                C
Maybelle on the radio
                       F
I'll be gone like the five and dime
             C
It'll be the perfect crime
                     G
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
                     C
He's the king and he oughta know
       C                   F
You don't love me, this I know
                              C
Don't need a bible to tell me so
                        G
It's a shame and it's a sin
                    C
Everything I coulda been to you
                 F
Your last chance Texaco
                        C
Your sweetheart of the rodeo
                  G
A juliet to your romeo
                          C
The border you cross into Nexico
                      F
I'll never understand why or how
                C
Oh but baby its too late now
                       G
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
                     C
He's the king and he oughta know
