Long, dis-t-ance in-for-ma-tion, give me Mem-phis Ten-nes-see

She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
           G7                                             C
'Cause my uncle took the mes-sage and he wrote it on the wall

[Play Riff]

[Verse 2]   
(Continue with base pattern on C and G chords) 
G
Help me, in-for-ma-tion, get in touch with my Ma-rie
      G
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Mem-phis Ten-nes-see
    C
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
         G7                                               C
Just a half a mile----- from the Mis-sis-sip-pi Bridge

[Play Riff]

[Verse 3]
G
Help me, in-for-mation, more than that I cannot add
      G
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
    C
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
         G7                                     C
And tore apart our happy home in Mem-phis Ten-nes-see

[Play Riff]

[Verse 4]
G
Last time I saw Ma-rie she's waving me good-bye
G
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trick-led from her eye
    C
Ma-rie is only six years old, in-for-ma-tion please
         G7                                     C
And try to put me through to her in Mem-phis Ten-nes-see
