Walking in Memphis [G]Marc Cohn

G C Am C Am F

C Put on my blue suede D shoes, and I C boarded the plane Am
Am Touched down C in the land of the Delta Blues
F In the middle of the C pouring rain Am F
W.C. C Handy , won't you F look down C over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
F But I'm as C blue as a boy can be

Chorus
C Then I'm walking in F Memphis G C
Am Was F walking with my feet, ten feet off of C Beale
Am Walking F in G Memphis
C But do I really Dm feel the way I C feel F Am
F Saw the ghost of Am Elvis on F Union C Avenue
Followed him F up to the C gates of Graceland
Then I F watched him walk C right through

Now F security they did not see C him
They just F hovered G 'round his C tomb
Dm But there's a F pretty little G thing, C waiting for the king
F Down NC in the Jungle Room

Chorus

C They've got Am catfish on the C table , they've got Am gospel in the C air
And Reverend Em Green, be F glad to see you
When you F#m haven't got a G prayer
Boy, you got a prayer in F Memphis

G C Am F C F

G Now Muriel, plays C piano F every Friday at the C Hollywood AM
F And they brought me down to C see Dm her and they F asked me if I C would

F To do a G little C number and I F sang with all C my might
She F said, "Tell me are you a C Christian Am child?"
And I C said, "Em Ma'am, I am C tonight"

Chorus x2 then Verse 1

A Touched down C in the land of the Delta Blues
F In the middle of the C pouring rain Am F Am F C
