[Intro]
F G C Am F G C
Am F

[Verse 1]
    G     C          Am
Put on my blue suede shoes and
F      G           C
I boarded the plane
Am        F       G           C         Am
  Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
F                    G       C   Am F
In the middle of the pouring rain
  G   C    Am
W. C. Handy
      F             G    C Am
Won't you look down over me
F           G       C           Am
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
           F                   C
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
                 G/B   F   G C
Then I'm walking in Memphis

[Chorus]
Am                    F        G           C    Am
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
              F   G C
Walking in Memphis
Am              F        G          F G C Am F
But do I really feel the way I feel?

[Verse 2]
    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
Now, security, they did not see him
Am     F      G           C       Am
  They just hovered round his tomb
            F           G
But there's a pretty little thing
C           Am
Waiting for the King
F
Down in the jungle room
    C                 G/B F    G C
When I was walking in Memphis I

[Chorus]
Am                       F       G            C
was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
    Am        F       G C
Walking in Memphis But
Am               F      G
do I really feel the way I feel?

And         Reverend Green,
E7               F7
  be glad to see you
             D/F#          G
When you haven't got a prayer
                               F        G C
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis Now,

C Am     F          G        C
Every Friday at the Hollywood
   Am F                   G   C
And   they brought me down to see her
Am  F               G       C
And they asked me if I would
  Am F  G         C      Am
Do    a little number And

said, "Tell me are you a Christian,
       Am

Walking in Memphis But
Am               F      G       C
