Walking in Memphis
Marc Cohn
[G] [C] [Am] [C] [Am] [F]
[C] Put on my blue suede [D] shoes, and I [C] boarded the plane [Am] [Am] Touched down [C] in the land of the Delta Blues
[F] In the middle of the [C] pouring rain [Am] [F]
W.C. [C] Handy , won't you [F] look down [C] over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
[F] But I'm as [C] blue as a boy can be
Chorus:
[C] Then I'm walking in [F] Memphis [G] [C]
[Am] Was [F] walking with my feet, ten feet off of [C] Beale [Am] Walking [F] in [G] Memphis
[C] But do I really [Dm] feel the way I [C] feel [F] [Am]
[F] Saw the ghost of [Am] Elvis on [F] Union [C] Avenue Followed him [F] up to the [C] gates of Graceland
Then I [F] watched him walk [C] right through
Now [F] security they did not see [C] him
They just [F] hovered [G] 'round his [C] tomb
[Dm] But there's a [F] pretty little [G] thing, [C] waiting for the king [F] Down [NC] in the Jungle Room
Chorus
[C] They've got [Am] catfish on the [C] table , they've got [Am] gospel in the [C] air And Reverend [Em] Green, be [F] glad to see you
When you [F#m] haven't got a [G] prayer
Boy, you got a prayer in [F] Memphis
[G] [C] [Am] [F] [C] [F]
[G] Now Muriel, plays [C] piano [F] every Friday at the [C] Hollywood [AM]
[F] And they brought me down to [C] see [Dm] her and they [F] asked me if I [C] would
[F] To do a [G] little [C] number and I [F] sang with all [C] my might She [F] said, "Tell me are you a [C] Christian [Am] child?"
And I [C] said, "[Em] Ma'am, I am [C] tonight"
Chorus x 2 then Verse 1
[A] Touched down [C] in the land of the Delta Blues
[F] In the middle of the [C] pouring rain [Am] [F] [Am] [F] [C]
