Marc Cohn - Walking In Memphis Chords

WALKING IN MEMPHIS
MARC COHN

VERSE 1  [ 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 
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  [ F  G  C  Am ]
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  [ F  G  C  Am ]
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue 
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland 
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, 


When I was ... [Chorus]


BRIDGE  
             Bb7              C 
They’ve got catfish on the table
             Bb7           C
They've got gospel in the air
               E7              F
And Reverend Green be glad to see you 
         F#dim           G
When you haven't got a prayer 
                                 [ F  G  C  Am ]
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 (N.C.) "Ma'am I am tonight"


[Chorus]  x2


VERES 4  [ 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    end on C
