The Elvis Presley Blues

C


[Verse]

I was thinking that night about 
Elvis

Day that he died, day that he died

I was thinking that night about 
Elvis

The day that he died, day that he 
died

Just a country boy that combed his 
hair
             F                     
And put on a shirt his mother made 
    C
and went on the air
       Am                        C
And he shook it like a chorus girl
       G                      C
And he shook it like a Harlem Queen
   Am              C
He shook it like a midnight rambler,
 baby
         F                     C
Like you never seen, you never seen

[Verse 2]

I was thinking that night about 
Elvis

Day that he died, day that he died

I was thinking that night about 
Elvis

Day that he died, day that he died

How he took it all out of black and 
white
F                                 
Grabbed his wand in the other hand
        C
 and he held on tight
       Am                        C
And he shook it like a hurricane
   G                        C
He shook it like to make it break
        Am                  C
And he shook it like a holy roller, 
baby
         F                         
With his soul at stake, his soul at
 C
 stake


[Verse 3]

I was thinking that night about 
Elvis

The day that he died, day that he 
died

I was thinking that night about 
Elvis

The day that he died, day that he 
died

He was all alone in a long decline
         F                       
Thinking how happy John Henry was 
              C
that he fell down and died
        Am                        
When he shook it and he rang like 
C
silver
   G                          C
He shook it and he shine like gold
   Am                        C
He shook it and he beat that steam 
drill, baby
     F                       C
Well bless my soul, bless my soul
   Am                         C
He shook it and he beat that steam 
drill, baby
     F                          
Well bless my soul, what's wrong 
           C
with me?
