Walking In Memphis-Lonestar: By Erik vdPutten
These are the Chords, but at the bottom there is fingering for the verses.It sounds
close to the piano. Play it repeadetly. Each Chord gets replaced by the fingering
shown below, but only for the verses, then it switches to chords. Everytime a chord
changes change you should be done the fingering.
...Verse One...
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?
Cuz, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be...
...Chorus...
Then I'm walking in Memphis,
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Walking in Memphis,
But do I really feel the way I feel?
...Verse 2...
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 around his tomb.
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the jungle room
...Chorus...
...Bridge...
They've got cat fish 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 got a prayer in Memphis...
...Verse3...
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
She said "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight."
...Chorus X-3...
