[Ebm] [Ebm]
Sipping in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Roger on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancing, baby, on her shoulder Sun is setting like molasses in the sky
[Bb] Work is changing, you've [Ab] had a move Everything, [B] [Gb] always wanting [Db] more
You leave your longing [Abm] for a [Gb] little [Db] boy's smile
[Abm] Black velvet with [E] that slow [B] southern style [Abm] A new religion [Gb] that'll bring [Db] your heart to your [B] knees
Black [Bb] velvet, [Eb] it's the meaning of [Ebm] a man first
The music's like a heat wave, white [Eb] lightning Bound to guide you wild
[Ebm] Mama's baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl Love me tender, even crying in the air
We [Bb] were [Db] so, [Ab] so sweet and [Abm] true [Gb]
Always wanting [Db] more
You leave your longing for [Abm] a black boy's [Gb] [Db] smile
[Abm]
[E] Black velvet with that slow [B] southern style [Abm] A new religion that'll bring [Db] your heart to your [B] knees
