=== HOWDY =============================================================================

   Hey, this is my first tab (even though the majority of it isn't mine, I've just
   rearranged it into a more readable format), so sorry if some things are a little
   weird, please don't be too harsh!

   Walking in Memphis is a beautiful song, and even though it's arranged on piano
   it works really well with a solo acoustic or as part of a band.

   This is the way I play the song. I learned it off Joe D (Gocaps)'s tab, and
   modified it a little in relation to some little changes chord-wise, lyrics-wise
   and just a bit of tidying up to make the tab a little more readable.

   I hope you can make some good use of this tab, please let me know if you use it 
   and maybe rate it as well! Thankyou folks, have fun and keep jammin'!

   F   G     C          Am
   Put on my blue suede shoes
         F    G      C    Am 
   And I boarded the plane 
   F                   G           C     Am
   Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues 
   F                    G       C   Am  
   In the middle of the pouring rain
   F G  C     Am F                   G    C Am 
   W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me 
   F            G       C         Am
   Yeah I got a first class ticket 
              F         G       C

=== CHORUS (Same throughout the song) =================================================

   C        Am         F      G         C
   Then I'm walking in Memphis 
   Am              F        G           C
   Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale 
   Am         F             G           C
   Walking in Memphis 
   Am              F              G     Gsus

   Then I watched him walk right through 
         F           G       C      Am
   Now security they did not see him 
             F        G         C   Am
   They just hovered 'round his tomb 
                 F             G      C               Am
   But there's a pretty little thing, Waiting for the King
