F         C                     F                          C  
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
