Nos anos que precederam o lançamento de seu novo álbum Decca Join the Parade, Marc Cohn passou por várias mudanças de vida eventos. These events are what enabled him to reconnect with his songwriting muse, and they are in large part, what make Join the Parade an artistic, insightful and soulful statement. Estes eventos são o que permitiu que ele se reconectar com sua musa composição, e são em grande parte, o que torna a associação da Parada uma declaração artística, perspicaz e emotivo.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
( ) Name: ( Walking In Memphis Artist: ) Marc Cohn Year: ( 1991 Album: ) Marc Cohn ( Original Tab by: ) Joe D (Gocaps99) Adittions/Corrections by: ( Alex Cowley (AlexCowley) ) ( === HOWDY =============================================================================
Hey, this is my first tab (even though the majority of it isn't mine, I've just rearranged it into a more readable format), so sorry if some things are a little weird, please don't be too harsh!
Walking in Memphis is a beautiful song, and even though it's arranged on piano it works really well with a solo acoustic or as part of a band.
This is the way I play the song. I learned it off Joe D (Gocaps)'s tab, and modified it a little in relation to some little changes chord-wise, lyrics-wise and just a bit of tidying up to make the tab a little more readable.
I hope you can make some good use of this tab, please let me know if you use it and maybe rate it as well! Thankyou folks, have fun and keep jammin'!

FGCAm Put on my blue suede shoes FGCAm And I boarded the plane FGCAm Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues FGCAm In the middle of the pouring rain FGCAmFGCAm W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me FGCAm Yeah I got a first class ticket FGC But I'm as blue as a boy can be
[Chorus]
CAmFGC Then I'm walking in Memphis AmFGC Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale AmFGC Walking in Memphis AmFGGsus But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Verse 2]
FGCAm Saw the ghost of Elvis FGCAm On Union Avenue FGCAm Followed him up to the gates of Graceland FGCAm Then I watched him walk right through FGCAm Now security they did not see him FGCAm They just hovered 'round his tomb FGCAm But there's a pretty little thing, Waiting for the King N.C. Down in the Jungle Room
[Chorus]
CAmFGC Then I'm walking in Memphis AmFGC Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale AmFGC Walking in Memphis AmFGGsus But do I really feel the way I feel?

FGCAm Now Muriel plays piano FGCAm Every Friday at the Hollywood FGCAm And they brought me down to see her FGCAm And they asked me if I would FGCAm Do a little number FGCAm And I sang with all my might FGCAm And she said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?" N.C. And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
