Walking in memphis

Marc Cohn
 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,

(chorus)
 AmFG-C
Then I'm walking in Memphis,     
 AmFGC
 I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
 AmFG-C
 Walking in Memphis,    
 AmFGGsus/G-C
 But do I really feel the way I feel,           

(verse 2)
 FGCAmFGC-Am
 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)
Then I'm walking in Memphis,
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Walking in Memphis,
But do I really feel the way I feel,

They've got catfish on the table,     
 CsusCCsus-C
They've got gospel in the air,       
 E7F
And Reverend Green be glad to see you,
 F#dim7G7C/GC
When you haven't got a prayer,        
 FG-C-Am
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis,        

(verse 3)
 FGC-Am-FGCAm
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)
Then I'm walking in Memphis,
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Walking in Memphis,
But do I really feel the way I feel,

(verse 4)
 FGCAmFGC-Am
 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,
 F
In the middle of the,
 G-F-G-C-Am-F-G-C
 Pouring rain,
