[Instrumental] F G C Am [Verse]
F   G      C          Am
Put on my blue suede shoes

        F      G   C   Am
And I boarded the plane

         F           G            C    Am
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues

         F              G     C  Am
In the middle of the pouring rain

F G   C    Am            F   G         C  Am
W.C. Handy - won't you look down over me

      F        G             C    Am
Cause I got a first-class ticket

         F         G      C  Am
And I'm blue as a boy can be
[Chorus]
               F   G   C
Walking in Memphis

  Am             F             G        C
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale

  Am          F    G    C
Walking in Memphis

    Am           F        G      (F)
But do I really feel the way I feel
[Interlude] F G C Am [Verse]
F        G        C    Am
Saw the ghost of Elvis

        F   G    C   Am
Down on Union Avenue

 F        G             C          Am
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland

       F          G          C    Am
And watched him walk right through

        F          G       C      Am
Now security they did not see him

            F        G         C  Am
They just hovered 'round his tomb

           F              G
There's a pretty little thing

  C              Am
Waitin' on "The King"
N.C. Down in the Jungle Room [Chorus]

Walking in Memphis

    Am           F        G      (F)
But do I really feel the way I feel
[Interlude] F C F C [Bridge]
              F              C   F  C
They've got catfish on the table

              F            C   F  C
They've got gospel in the air

               E       F
And Reverend Green be glad to see you

          F#dim          G7
When you haven't got a prayer
You got a prayer in Memphis [Interlude] F G C Am [Verse]
      F      G        C   Am
Now Muriel plays the piano

        F           G     C  Am
Every Friday at the Hollywood

            F         G      C    Am
And they brought me down to see her

           F       G      C  Am
And they asked me if I would

F       G     C   Am
Do a little number

       F         G       C  Am
And I sang with all my might

           F           G        C  Am
She said "Tell me are you a Christian"

   Am        F      G     C
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
[Chorus]
