Verse
F# G# C# A#m
Put on my blue suede shoes
F# G# C# A#m
And I boarded the plane
F# G# C# A#m
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
F# G# C# A#m
In the middle of the pouring rain
F# G# C# A#m F# G# C# A#m
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
F# G# C# A#m
Yeah I got a first class ticket
F# G# C#
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
[Chorus]
C# A#m F# G# C#
Then I'm walking in Memphis
A#m F# G# C#
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
A#m F# G# C#
Walking in Memphis
A#m F# G# G#sus
But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Verse 2]
F# G# C# A#m
Saw the ghost of Elvis
F# G# C# A#m
On Union Avenue
F# G# C# A#m
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
F# G# C# A#m
Then I watched him walk right through
F# G# C# A#m
Now security they did not see him
F# G# C# A#m
They just hovered 'round his tomb
F# G# C# A#m
But there's a pretty little thing, Waiting for the King
N.C.
Down in the Jungle Room
[Chorus]
C# A#m F# G# C#
Then I'm walking in Memphis
A#m F# G# C#
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
A#m F# G# C#
Walking in Memphis
A#m F# G# G#sus
But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Instrumental]
C#sus4 / C# / C#sus4 / C#
[Bridge]
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
They've got catfish on the table
C#sus4 C# C#sus4 C#
They've got gospel in the air
F7 F#
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
G#dim G#7 C#/G# C#
When you haven't got a prayer
NC. F# G# C# A#m
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
[Verse 3]
F# G# C# A#m
Now Muriel plays piano
F# G# C# A#m
Every Friday at the Hollywood
F# G# C# A#m
And they brought me down to see her
F# G# C# A#m
And they asked me if I would
F# G# C# A#m
Do a little number
F# G# C# A#m
And I sang with all my might
F# G# C# A#m
And she said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
N.C.
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
[Chorus]
C# A#m F# G# C#
Then I'm walking in Memphis
A#m F# G# C#
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
A#m F# G# C#
Walking in Memphis
A#m F# G# G#sus
But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Ending]
F# G# C# A#m
Put on my blue suede shoes
F# G# C# A#m
And I boarded the plane
F# G# C# A#m
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
F# G# C# A#m
In the middle of the pouring rain
F# G# C# A#m
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
F# G# C# A#m
In the middle of the pouring rain
