Meanwhile down on Beale Street, drinking in a Beale Street bar
C G C
There's a fog rolling off the Mississippi, has anybody seen Arkansas
F C F C
And the deckhands from the towboats come ashore wearing Mexican shoes
C G F C
For they headed strait for Graceland was the first thing they wanted to do
Chorus:
G C
Cinco de Mayo in Memphis
G C
Mariachi's singing the blues
G C
Southern belles and Senoritas
G C
All sportin' Blue suede shoes
Porkpie hats and sombreros hangin on a downtown street
Swingin pool cues at pinatas, don't that river smell sweet
And they all come to get'm some Memphis, a little somethin' for their souls
Jumper cables and limos, hell they all came to rock and roll
Chorus
