Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer - Elvis presley

Elvis ^CPresley came to ^C/Bme in a ^Amdream last night ^Am/G Like a ^Fsus2sleepy golden ^Geagle on the ^Cbreeze ^G Wearing ^Cwings of Spanish ^C/Bleather, ^Amhe was looking alright ^Am/G But his ^Frebel heart lay ^Fmaj7bleeding on his ^Gknees He said, "^AmSherman's ^Emwolves howl ^F'round the ^Cgate And the ^Amsheep have ^Emgone as^Dtray And Pri^Cscilla's flown to ^C/BParis, now she's ^Amlost to me" ^Am/G

He said, "^Fsus2Throw out the ^Amlifeline ^CThrow out the ^Amlifeline 'Cause ^Fsus2somebody's ^Gdrifting a^Cway." ^G

Then he ^Ctook me over ^C/Bcracker malls and ^Amchicken shacks ^Am/G Where the ^Fsus2lost souls prowl the ^Glonesome ocean^Cside ^G They were ^Cwaiting on the ^C/Bshadow of the ^AmMerrimack ^Am/G Floating ^Fbrave as Davis ^Fmaj7sabres on the ^Gtide But he said, "^AmDixie ^Emslumbers in the ^Fcold, cold ^Cground And ^AmLincoln^Em moulders in the ^Dclay And they've got ^CJohn Wilkes ^C/BBooth on the ^Amradio ^Am/G

Singing, "^Fsus2Throw out the ^Amlifeline ^CThrow out the ^Amlifeline 'Cause ^Fsus2somebody's ^Gdrifting a^Cway." ^G

Now the ^Ctruth is plain and ^C/Bsimple, but it ^Amflickers on my ^Am/Glips Like a ^Fsus2moonbeam in a ^Gblue Kentucky ^Cpool ^G 'Cause the ^CUnion, she's a ^C/Bclever and a ^Amworthy ship ^Am/G But she's ^Fprideful, and she ^Fmaj7will not bear a ^Gfool So the ^Amfleet sails ^Emblind past ^FBeauregard ^C And the ^Amflagship ^Emfounders in the ^Dbay While the ^Ccaptain ^C/Bpaces on the ^Amquarterdeck ^Am/G

Crying, "^Fsus2Throw out the ^Amlifeline ^CThrow out the ^Amlifeline 'Cause ^Fsus2somebody's ^Gdrifting a^Cway." ^G

These ^Cblue suede shoes were ^C/Bmade for someone ^Amelse's feet ^Am/G Me, I grow ^Fsus2weary ever ^Gwalking down that ^Cline ^G 'Cause I ^Cnever seem to ^C/Breach the end of ^AmLonely Street ^Am/G Even ^Fthough my heart's been ^Fmaj7broken for some ^Gtime Oh, if ^Amyou should ^Emmeet me ^Fon the march ^C From ^AmAppo^Emmattox all in ^Dgrey Won't you ^Ctake this ^C/Bmessage to the ^AmKing for me ^Am/G

Tell him, "^Fsus2Throw out the ^Amlifeline ^CThrow out the ^Amlifeline 'Cause ^Fsus2somebody's ^Gdrifting a^Amway" ^Am/G Tell him, "^Fsus2Throw out the ^Amlifeline ^CThrow out the ^Amlifeline 'Cause ^Fsus2somebody's ^Gdrifting a^Cway."
