4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the
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`ve got a first class ticket but I`m as
blue as a boy can be
CHORUS
Then I`m Walking In Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of
Beale
Walking In Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
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
REPEAT CHORUS
They`ve got catfish on the table
They`ve got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you when
you haven`t got a prayer~~~~~~~~~
But boy you`ve got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano ev`ry Friday at the
Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her and
Asked me if I would,
Well do a little number and I sang with all
my might.
She said 'Tell me are you a Christian child?'
And I said 'Ma`am I am~~~~~~ to-night'
