[D#] Played on the guitar for guitar voicings [B] here.

[E] Very very soulful spiritual kind of song by [G] Mark Cohen.
It's called walking [D#] in Memphis
What I do [F] remember I'm tuned down E flat

[C#] And [F] it's really pretty much [E] a simple song.
It's just really
[Gm] Variations on a 1 4 5 we're just playing, [D] you know CDG E minor
[C] You know kind of thing just a basic little [A#] thing where we're going [D] so
[A] [F#m]
[D] [A]

[A]
[D]
[A] What [D]
[A] [D]
[A] are we doing here let's watch this keep these two [Gm] planted right up there
[C#] All you really get to do is start [A] off with bass notes
[D] Get those the little pinky [A#] and the third on the [A] G and the D up there right and we're gonna start out
We're gonna go C [D] bass note
to the [E] D and

Little cut and then go full courts and I'm walking in
[F#m] Walking with [A] my feet and feet are real [F#m] walk it in [A] Memphis

Jesus
You're adding this [D] little C onto your [Am] G chord
