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

When you haven't got a prayer

But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
[Verse 3]
D# F A# Gm
Now Muriel plays piano
D# F A# Gm
Every Friday at the Hollywood
D# F A# Gm
And they brought me down to see her
D# F A# Gm
And they asked me if I would
D# F A# Gm
Do a little number
D# F A# Gm
And I sang with all my might
D# F A# Gm
And she said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
N.C.
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
[Chorus]
A# Gm D# F A#
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Gm D# F A#
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Gm D# F A#
Walking in Memphis
Gm D# F Fsus
But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Ending]
D# F A# Gm
Put on my blue suede shoes
D# F A# Gm
And I boarded the plane
D# F A# Gm
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
D# F A# Gm
In the middle of the pouring rain
D# F A# Gm
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
D# F A# Gm
In the middle of the pouring rain
