Walking In Memphis

Hi,

I just posted the song listed above to rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature and

to alt.guitar.tab. Someone had posted the chords, and I converted them to

CHORD format. I understand that you add items to the archives. So.....

Please let me know if there's a better "sanctioned" way to submit stuff to the

archive. Thanks.

Matt

Put [G]on my [C]blue suede [Am]shoes and I[F] board[G]ed the pl[C]ane[Am]

Touched down in the [G]land of the [C]Delta [Am]Blues

In the middle of the [G]pouring [C]rain [Am]

W[G].C. [C]Handy, [Am][F]won't you look down [G]over [C]me? [Am]

Yeah, I got a [G]first cl[C]ass ticket [Am]

But I'm a[F]s blue as a [G]boy can b[C]e...

{start_of_chorus}

Then I'm wal[Am]king in Mem[F]phis, [G] [C]

I was walking with my [F]feet ten [G]feet off [C]Beale,

Walking in Mem[F]phis, [G] [C]

But do I really [F]feel the [G]way I feel? [Gsus] [C/G]

{end_of_chorus}

Saw the [G]ghost of [C]Elvis[Am] on[F] [G]Union ave[C]nue[Am],

Followed him [G]up to the [C]gates of [Am]Graceland

Then I [F]watched him [G]walk right [C]through[Am]

Now, se[F]curity they [G]did not [C]see him[Am]

They just[F] hovered a[G]round his[C] tomb[Am].

But there's a [F]pretty little [G]thing [C]waiting for the [Am]King

Down in the [G]jungle [C]room

{c:Chorus}

{c:Bridge}

{start_of_chorus}

[Csus] [C] [Csus] [C]

They've got[Csus] gospel in the [C]air [Csus] [C]

And Reverend Green [E7]be glad to [F]see you

When you hav[F#dim]en't got a [G7]prayer [C/G] [C]

But boy you got a prayer in Mem[F]phis...[G] [C] [Am]

{end_of_chorus}

Now, Muriel [G]plays pi[C]ano[Am] [F]every [G]friday at the [C]Holly[Am]wood

And they [G]brought me down to [C]see her[Am]

And they [G]asked me if I[C] would[Am]

Do a [G]little [C]number[Am]

And I[F] sang with [G]all my [C]might[Am]

She said "[F]Tell me, are [G]you a [C]Christian, [Am]child?"

And I said "[F]Ma'am, I [G]am ton[C]ight."

{c:Chorus}

Put [G]on my [C]blue suede [Am]shoes and I [F]board[G]ed the plane [C] [Am]

Touched down in the [G]land of the [C]Delta [Am]Blues

In the middle of the [G]pouring [C]rain [Am]

Touched down in the [G]land of the [C]Delta [Am]Blues

In the middle of the [G]pouring [C]rain [Am]
