-- Verse
            
                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
                
                Down in the Jungle Room

-- Chorus

When I was walking in Memphis

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale

Walking in Memphis

But A- do I really F feel the G way I C7sus4 feel? C7

                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

Walking in Memphis

Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale

Walking in Memphis

But do I really feel the way I feel?

-- Verse
            
                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 pour—ing rain.
