=== 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'!
