Walking In Memphis (Marc Cohn)

Intro:
F  G  C  Am

Verse 1
Put on my blue suede shoes,
And I board-ed the plane. 
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues, 
In the middle of the pouring rain.
W. C. Handy, won't you look down over me, 
Yeah I got a first class ticket. 
But I'm as blue as a boy can be.

Chorus 1:
Then I'm walking in Memphis, 
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale. 
Walking in Memphis, 
But do I really feel the way I feel? 

Verse 2:
G7sus4              C 
Saw the ghost of El'”vis, 
G7sus4       C 
On Union Ave'”nue.
                G7sus4                C 
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland, 

F  G  C  Am
Then I watched him walk right through. 
Now security they did not see him, 
They just hovered 'round his tomb. 
But there's a pretty little thing, 
Waiting for the King. 
Down in the Jungle Room

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
            C7sus4         C7     C7sus4   C7
They've got catfish on the table 
            C7sus4        C7    C7sus4   C7
They've got gospel in the air 
                    E7         F7
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you 
         F#7           G7        
When you haven't got a prayer 
N.C.                              F    G  C    
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis 

Verse 3
F  G  C  Am
Now Muriel plays piano 
Every Friday at the Hollywood 
And they brought me down to see her 
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number 
And I sang with all my might
And she said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?" 
And I said,  "Ma'am I am tonight" 

Repeat Chorus 2x

Outro
F  G  C  Am
Put on my blue suede shoes,
And I boarded the plane. 
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues, 
In the middle of the pouring rain.
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues, 
In the middle of the pouring rain.
