The Elvis Presley Blues

C

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                         C
And put on a shirt his mother made 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

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                                         C
Grabbed his wand in the other hand 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                          C
With his soul at stake, his soul at stake

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                                     C
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
        Am                        C
When he shook it and he rang like 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                                     C
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
