'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall



Help me, information; get in touch with my Marie

She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee

Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge

Just A half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge



Help me, information, more than that I cannot add

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had

But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee



Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye

With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye

Marie is only six years old Information please

Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee



You can play all B’s with no B7’s for the first two lines if it’s easier for you, but in

fourth line, the B7 is crucial.

Also on the fourth line: This is how I play it, its close to the record, but I know its

exact, it’s a fast slide down from the B7 to the E, and most people won’t know the

if its fast enough, sometimes I drop the A or The Am (or both) by accident, it can be 

fast if your lead guitarist likes it that way, or if your band is really swinging.
