Walking In Memphis

Paolo Santos
 FGCAmFGCAm
 Put on my blue suede shoes 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...

 AmFGC
Then I'm walking in Memphis,           
 AmFGC
 I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
 AmFGC
 Walking in Memphis,    
 AmFGGsusC/G
 But do I really feel the way I feel?     

 FGCAmFGCAm
 Saw the ghost of Elvis 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 around his tomb.
 FGCAm
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
 FGC
 Down in the jungle room

Chorus

Bridge

 CsusCCsusC
They've got gospel in the air     
 E7F
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
 F#dimG7C/GC
When you haven't got a prayer            
 FGCAm
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis...          

 FGCAmFGCAm
 Now, Muriel plays piano 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
She said "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"
 FGC
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight."

Chorus

 FGCAmFGCAm
 Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane   
 FGCAm
 Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
 FGCAm
 In the middle of the pouring rain  

 FGCAm
 Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
 FGCAm
 In the middle of the pouring rain
