[Verse 1]
           
Put on my blue

       
 suede shoes,
            
And I board-ed

          
 the plane. 
             
Touched down i

             
n the land of 

         
the Delta Blue

s, 
             
In the middle 

             
of the pouring

      
 rain.
           
W.__C. Handy, 

           
won't you look

            
 down over me,


 
            
Yeah I got a f

             
irst class tic

    
ket. 
             
But I'm as blu

             
e as a boy can

 
 be. 
 
 
[Chorus 1]
            
Then I'm walki

             
ng in Memphis,

  
 
            
Walking with m

            
y feet ten fee

         
t off of Beale

. 
            
Walking in Mem

       
—phis, 
            
But do I reall

            
y feel the way

          
 I feel? 
 
 
[Verse 2]
        
Saw the ghost 

      
of El—vis, 
       
On Union Ave—n

/
ue.
              
Followed him u

        
p to the gates

          
 of Grace—land

, 
        
Then I watched

              
 him walk righ

          
t through. 
            
Now se—curity 

             
they did not s

  
ee him, 
          
They just hove

     
red 'round his

 tomb. 
            
But there's a 

            
pretty little 


thing, 
            
Wait—ing for t


he King. 
           
Down in the Ju


ngle Room,
 
 
[Chorus 2]
             
When I was wal

I was Walking

en feet off of

 
 Beale. 
            
Walking in Mem

But do I reall

NOTES:
1.  “I went to Graceland, I heard Al Green preach the gospel, I saw W. C. Handy's statue. But the song is
about more than just a place, it's about a kind of spiritual awakening, one of those trips where you're
different when you leave." - Marc Cohn

2.  I have shown what I believe, are the best alternative chords, where possible.  If you find the chord
changes too difficult, I would recommend the ’simplify chords’ button.  :-R
