Chords:
( ) Name: ( Walking In Memphis Artist: ) Marc Cohn Year: ( 1991 Album: ) Marc Cohn ( Original Tab by: ) Joe D (Gocaps99) Adittions/Corrections by: ( Alex Cowley (AlexCowley) ) ( === 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'! === VERSE ONE =========================================================================F G C Am Put on my blue suede shoesF G C Am And I boarded the planeF G C Am Touched down in the land of the Delta BluesF G C Am In the middle of the pouring rainF G C Am F G C Am W.C.
