Standard (EADGBE)

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.. 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,

I was walking with my feet ten feet off Beale,

Walking in Memphis,

But do I really feel the way I feel?

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 around his tomb.

 But there's a pretty little thing waiting for the King

Down in the jungle room

 {:Chorus}

 {:Bridge}

 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 got a prayer in Memphis...

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 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}

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
