[Verse 1]
[F][G][C][Am]
[F][G][C][Am]
[F]Put on [G]my blu[C]e suede sho[Am]es
And [F]I board[G]ed the p[C]lane[Am]
Touched [F]down in [G]the land of [C]the Delta [Am]Blues
[F]In the middle of the [G]pouring [C]rain[Am]
[F]W. [G]C. Han[C]dy,[Am]
won't [F]you look down [G]over [C]me?[Am]
[F]Yeah, I got [G]a first c[C]lass t[Am]icket
But I'm [F]as blue as a [G]boy can [C]be

[Chorus 1]
Then I'm [Am]walking in Mem[F]phis[G][C]
[Am]Was walking with my
[F]feet ten [G]feet off of [C]Beale[Am]
Walking in [F]Memphis[G][C]
[Am]But do I really [F]feel the w[G]ay I feel?
[F][C][Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]Saw the[G] ghost of Elv[C]is[Am]
[F]On Uni[G]on Avenue[C][Am]
Followed him [F]up
to [G]the gates of [C]Gra[Am]celand
[F]Then I watched him [G]walk right [C]through[Am]
Now se[F]curity they did [G]not see [C]him[Am]
They [F]just hove[G]red 'round [C]his [Am]tomb
But there's a [F]pretty lit[G]tle thing
Wai[C]ting for [Am]the King
[F]Down in the Jungle Room

[Chorus 2]
[C]When I was walking in Mem[F]phis[G][C]
[Am]I was walking with my
[F]feet ten [G]feet off of [Am]Beale
Walking in [F]Memphis[G][C]
[Am]But do I really [F]feel the w[G]ay I f[Bb]eel?[C]
[Bb][C]

[Bridge 1]
They've [Bb]got catfish on the t[C]able[Bb][C]
They've got [Bb]gospel in the [C]air[Bb][C]
And Reverend [E]Green be glad [F]to see you
When [D]you haven't got a [G]prayer
But, boy, you've got a prayer in [F]Mem[G]phis
[C][Am][F][G][C][Am]
[F]Now

[Verse 3]
Muriel [G]plays [C]pia[Am]no
Every [F]Friday at [G]the Holly[C]wood[Am]
[F]And they brought [G]me down [C]to see [Am]her
[F]And they asked me [G]if I [C]would[Am]
[F]Do a l[G]ittle numb[C]er[Am]
And [F]I sang w[G]ith all m[C]y m[Am]ight
She said
[F]"Tell me are[G] you a Chr[C]istian chi[Am]ld?"
And I [F]said "Ma'am, I am to[C]night"

[Chorus 3]
Walking in... [F](Wal[G]king in [C]Memphis)
[Am]Was walking with my
[F]feet ten [G]feet off of [Am]Beale
Walking in... [F](Wal[G]king in [C]Memphis)
[Am]But do I really [F]feel the w[Em]ay I f[C]eel?
[Am]Walking in... [F](Wal[G]king in [C]Memphis)
[Am]I was walking my feet te[F]n feet off of [G]Beale
[Am]Walking in... (Wal[F]king[G] in Memp[C]his)
