These are the Chords, but at the bottom there is fingering for the verses.It sounds
close to the piano. Play it repeadetly. Each Chord gets replaced by the fingering
shown below, but only for the verses, then it switches to chords. Everytime a chord
changes change you should be done the fingering.
...Verse One...
[F]Put [G]on my [C]blue suede [Am]shoes and I[F] board[G]ed the pl[C]ane[Am]
[F]Touched down in the [G]land of the [C]Delta [Am]Blues

Then I'm wal[Am]king in Mem[F]phis, [G] [C]
[Am]I was walking with my [F]feet ten [G]feet off [C]Beale,

Then I [F]watched him [G]walk right [C]through[Am]
Now, se[F]curity they [G]did not [C]see him[Am]
