Walking In Memphis

Put on (G5)my blue (C5)suede shoes (A5)and I (F5)boarded (G5)the plane.

(A5)Touched down (F5)in the (G5)land of the (C5)Delta Blues

(A5)in the (F5)middle of the (G5)pouring rain.

(F5)W. (G5)C.

(C5)Handy, (A5)won't you (F5)look down (G5)over me?

(A5)Yeah, (F5)I've got a (G5)first class (C5)ticket,

(A5)but I'm as (F5)blue as a (G5)boy can be.

(C5)Then I'm (A5)walking in (F)(G)Memphis,

(C)was (Am)walking with my (F)feet ten feet (Gsus4)off of Beale.

(Am)Walking in (F)(Gsus4)Memphis,

(C)but (Am)do I really (F)feel the (G)way I feel?

(F5)Saw the (Gsus4)ghost of (C)Elvis

(F5)on (Gsus4)Union (C)Avenue,

followed him up (F5)to the (Gsus4)gates of (C)Graceland,

then I (F5)watched him walk (Gsus4)right through.

(C)Now (F5)security they did not (Gsus4)see him,

(C)they just (F5)hovered (Gsus4)round his (C)tomb.

But there's a (F5)pretty little (Gsus4)thing (C)waiting for the King (F)down in the Jungle room.

(C)When I was walking in (F)Memphis,

(C)was (Am)walking with my (F)feet ten feet (Gsus4)off of Beale.

(Am7)Walking in (F)Memphis,

(C)but (Am)do I really (F)feel the way (G)I feel?

(C7)They've got (C7sus4)catfish on the (C7)table,

(C7)they've got (C7sus4)gospel in the air.

(C7)And Reverend Green

(E7)be glad to (F)see you when you (F#dim)haven't got a (G)prayer.

But boy, you've got a prayer in (F5)Memphis.

(A5)Now (F5)Muriel plays (G5)(C5)piano

(A5)ev'ry (F5)Friday at the (G5)Hollywood,

(A5)and they (F5)brought me down

(G5)to (C5)see her

(A5)and they (F5)asked me if (G5)I would.

(F)Well, do a (Gsus4)little (C5)number

(Am7)and I (F)sang with (Gsus4)all my (C5)might.

(Am7)She said, (F)"Tell me, are (Gsus4)you a (C5)Christian,

child?" (Am7)and I said, (F)"Ma'am, I am tonight."

Walking in Memphis,

(C)I was (Am)walking with my (F)feet ten feet (G)off of Beale.

(Am)Walking in (F)Memphis,

(C)but (Am)do I really (F)feel the (C)way I feel?
