Walking In Memphis

Cher

Transposer:

[Verse 1] 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] 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] 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 N.C. Down in the Jungle Room [Chorus] 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? [Instrumental] Dsus4 / D / Dsus4 / D [Bridge]             Dsus4          D     Dsus4 D They’ve got catfish on the table             Dsus4         D      Dsus4 D 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        [Verse 3] 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?" N.C. And I said "Ma’am I am tonight" [Chorus] 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? [Ending] 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
