Intro: C/G

F   G     C          Am         F     G        C  Am
Put on my blue suede shoes 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...

                           F      G   C
Then I'm wal[Am]king in Memphis,  
Am                    F        G        C
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Am            F      G   C
Walking in Memphis,
Am              F        G            Gsus C/G
But do I really feel the way I feel?

F       G        C    Am F G       C  Am
Saw the ghost of Elvis 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 around his tomb.
              F             G     C               Am
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
F           G      C
Down in the jungle room

And Reverend Green be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer        
                               F      G   C    Am
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis...

Now, Muriel plays piano   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, child?"
            F        G     C
And I said "Ma'am , I am tonight."

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