[Instrumental]
F G C Am
[Verse]
F G C Am
Put on my blue suede shoes
F G C Am
And I boarded the plane
F G C Am
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
F G C Am
In the middle of the pouring rain
F G C Am F G C Am
W.C. Handy - won't you look down over me
F G C Am
Cause I got a first-class ticket
F G C Am
And I'm blue as a boy can be
[Chorus]
F G C
Walking in Memphis
Am F G C
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Am F G C
Walking in Memphis
Am F G (F)
But do I really feel the way I feel
[Interlude]
F G C Am
[Verse]
F G C Am
Saw the ghost of Elvis
F G C Am
Down on Union Avenue
F G C Am
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
F G C Am
And watched him walk right through
F G C Am
Now security they did not see him
F G C Am
They just hovered 'round his tomb
F G
There's a pretty little thing
C Am
Waitin' on "The King"
N.C.
Down in the Jungle Room
[Chorus]
F G C
Walking in Memphis
Am F G C
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Am F G C
Walking in Memphis
Am F G (F)
But do I really feel the way I feel
[Interlude]
F C F C
[Bridge]
F C F C
They've got catfish on the table
F C F C
They've got gospel in the air
E F
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
F#dim G7
When you haven't got a prayer
You got a prayer in Memphis
[Interlude]
F G C Am
[Verse]
F G C Am
Now Muriel plays the piano
F G C Am
Every Friday at the Hollywood
F G C Am
And they brought me down to see her
F G C Am
And they asked me if I would
F G C Am
Do a little number
F G C Am
And I sang with all my might
F G C Am
She said "Tell me are you a Christian"
Am F G C
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
[Chorus]
F G C
Walking in Memphis
Am F G C
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Am F G C
Walking in Memphis
Am F G C
But do I really feel the way I feel
F G C
Oh, Walking in Memphis
Am F G C
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Am F G C
Walking in Memphis
Am F G C
But do I really feel the way I feel
F G C Am
Oh, Walking in Memphis
Fade out
F G C Am
