Walking In Memphis/VOCAL HARMONY
Marc Cohn
G A D Bm G A D Bm
Put on my blue suede shoes and I board ed the pl ane G A D Bm
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
G A D Bm
In the middle of the pouring rain G A D Bm G A D Bm
W .C. Handy, won't you look down over me? G A D Bm
Yeah, I got a first cl ass ticket G A D
But I'm a s blue as a boy can b e...

CHORUS:
Bm G A D
Then I'm wal king in Mem phis, Bm G A D
I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,
Bm G A D
Walking in Mem phis, Bm G A Asus D
But do I really feel the way I feel? G A D Bm G A D Bm
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union ave nue ,
G A D Bm
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
G A D Bm
Then I watched him walk right through G A D Bm
Now, se curity they did not see him G A D Bm
They just hovered a round his tomb .
G A D Bm
But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
G A D
Down in the jungle room

CHORUS

Dsus D Dsus D
They've got gospel in the air F#7 G
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
G A7 D D
When you hav en't got a prayer G A D Bm
But boy you got a prayer in Mem phis... G A D Bm G A D Bm
Now, Muriel plays pi ano every friday at the Holly wood
G A D Bm
And they brought me down to see her G A D Bm
And they asked me if I would G A D Bm
Do a little number G A D Bm
And I sang with all my might G A D Bm
She said " Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"
G A D
And I said " Ma'am, I am ton ight."

CHORUS

G A D Bm G A D Bm
Put on my blue suede shoes and I board ed the plane G A D Bm
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
G A D Bm
In the middle of the pouring rain G A D Bm
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
G A D Bm
In the middle of the pouring rain

it is a T5

[eddana2]

I rate this 5 stars everytime I hear it!

[mumd2003]

so very kind of you.Its my hoarse voice,( i was getting over a cold) the t5 , the harmony and the imagery and lyrics all together.I really like this as one of my own favs. Means alot from a real musician like yourself,

Woek was hard today so this is very uplifting.

ps..The seven briges road piece was a bit off if you ask me .poor harmony, off key.Would like to try things a scond time but only energy for a first try

Again, so kind of you to reply.
