D#              Cm     G#
The day since I met her
           F         D#
I can't believe it's true
                   Cm
She came here from Memphis
G#         Fm      D#
Across the ocean, sailing
             Cm
And I saw her, and I pleaded
  G#
''Why do you come so far?'' and she said

Chorus:
D#                G#
Trying to get to you
D#                  G#
How I tried to get you
D#                G#
Trying to get to you

D#             Cm   G#
I'm sending a letter
             Fm        D#
I'll send it right to you
                Cm
I'll send it to Memphis
G#           Fm
I know that someday
D#                 Cm
Everything I needed and I wanted
G#                           Fm    D#
Used to be that my head was haunted

              Cm G#  D#             G
And all these sirens, they make me mad
D#             G#       D#            G
 And all this violence, it brings me down
G#             A#
I feel strong, I feel lucky

Chorus:
D#                G#
Trying to get to you
D#                    G#
Said I'm gonna get to you
Cm       G#      D#
Trying to get to you
