An old one that's really simple... like many early rock tunes, you only need a few chords:
D C D C
Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
D C D A7
Help me reach a party tried to get in touch with me
D7
She could not leave her number but I know who placed the call
A7 G A7 D
My uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
D C D C
Help me information get in touch with my Marie
D C D A7
She's the only one who would have phoned from Memphis Tennessee
D7
Her house is on the south side high up on the ridge
A7 G A7 D
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
D C D C
Help me information more than that I cannot add
D C D A7
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
D7
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
A7 G A7 D
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
D C D C
Last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
D C D A7
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
D7
Marie is only six years old information please
A7 G A7 D
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Love Chuck Berry. Other than David's Roll Over Beethoven lesson this is the first Chuck posting I've seen here. Thanks Tom.
Well I got this guitar and I'm tryin' to learn how to make it talk.
