Tom: Am
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
Yeah I got a first class ticket
F G C
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
[Chorus]
C Am F G C
Then I'm 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 Csus4
But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Verse 2]
F G C Am
Saw the ghost of Elvis
F G C Am
On Union Avenue
F G C Am
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
F G C Am
Then I 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 C Am
But there's a pretty little thing, Waiting for the King
N.C.
Down in the Jungle Room
[Chorus]
C Am F G C
Then I'm 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 Csus4
But do I really feel the way I feel?

They've got catfish on the table

And Reverend Green be glad to see you
F#dim7 G7 C/G C
When you haven't got a prayer

But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
[Verse 3]
F G C Am
Now Muriel plays 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
And she said, "Tell me are you a Christian child?"
N.C.
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
[Chorus]
C Am F G C
Then I'm 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
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Then I'm 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
But do I really feel the way I feel?
[Ending]
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
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
F G C Am
In the middle of the pouring rain
