Lyrics
Put on my (C5)blue suede (A5)shoes and (F5)I (G5)boarded the plane.
(A5)Touched (F5)down in (G5)the land of (C5)the Delta (A5)Blues (F5)in the middle of the (G5)pouring (C5)rain.
(A5)W. (G5)bleu C.
(C5)Handy, (A5)won't (F5)you look down (G5)over (C5)me?
(F5)Yeah, I've (G5)got a (C5)firstclass ticket (A5)but I'm (F5)as blue as a (G5)boy can (C5)be.
Then I'm (Am)walking in (F)(G)Memphis.
(Am)Was walking with my (F)feet ten (G)feet off of Beale.
(Am)Walking in (F)(G)Memphis,
(Am)but do I really (F)feel the (G)way I feel?
(C)Saw (Gsus)the ghost (F5)of (C)Elvis
(Dm)on (Gsus)Union (F5)(C)Avenue,
(Dm)followed him (F5)up to (Gsus)the gates (F5)of (C)Graceland,
(F5)then I watched him (Gsus)walk right (F5)through.
(C)Now (F5)security, they did (Gsus)not see (F5)him;
(Dm)they (F5)just (Gsus)hovered 'round (F5)his (C)tomb,
(Dm)but (C)there's a (F5)pretty (Gsus)little thing (F5)(C)waiting for (D5)the King (A5)(F5)down in the Jungle Room.
(C)When I was walking in (F)Memphis,
(Am)I was walking with my (F)feet ten (G)feet off of Beale.
(Am7)Walking in (F)Memphis,
(C)but (Am7)do I really (F)feel the (G)way I feel?
(C7)They've got (C7sus)catfish on the (C7)table;
(C7)they've got (C7sus)gospel in the air,
(C)and Reverend Green (E7)be glad to (F7)see you when you (F#dim)haven't got
a (G7)prayer,
but boy, you've got a prayer in (F5)Memphis.
(F5)Now Muriel (G5)plays (C5)piano
(A5)ev'ry (F5)Friday at (G5)the (C5)Hollywood,
(A5)and (F5)they brought me (G5)down
(C5)to see her
(F5)and they asked me (G5)if I (C5)would,
(F)well, do a (G7sus)little (C)number,
(Am)and I (F)sang with (G7sus)all my (C)might.
(Am)She said, (F)"Tell me, (G)are you a (C)Christian,
(Am7)child?" and I said, (F5)"Ma'am, I am (C)tonight."
Walking in (F)Memphis.
(Am7)I was walking with my (F)feet ten (G)feet off of Beale.
(Am)Walking in (F)Memphis,
(Am7)but do I really (F)feel the (C)way (Dm)I (C)feel?
(Am7)Walking in (F)Memphis.
(Am7)I was walking with my (F)feet ten (G)feet off of Beale.
