Chords for Cody Slaughter sings 'If I Can Dream' Elvis Week 2017

_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ 40 years [D] went by since we lost Elvis Presley.
It's our best friend, even if we didn't know him.
We felt like we knew Elvis. _
He's a phenomenon.
He's a phenomenon.
You can't explain it.
People say, why do you like him?
I can't [E] explain it to you. _
_ I love him.
What do I need to say?
[B] You know, _ we love Elvis.
[D] That house, 1977, we were there in the morning.
_ We lost him.
And the world was not ready for that.
And we're still not.
We're still not.
_ But you know, if he was [G] here right now, he would be so happy.
With you guys.
[E] Thank you.
Thank you.
[B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
You know, [N] I mean, Elvis Presley, boy, how do you start?
I mean, you look at the guy.
_ Geez, he's beautiful. _ _ _ _ _
_ I was watching him on TV yesterday at [Gm] Marlow's.
I'm just here.
[B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] And the TV's on, [D] and he's doing all this stuff.
[Gm] And I'm like, I can move a dang good. _
But this guy, he can move a lot better.
You know what I mean?
[G] This guy's all over the place.
[D]
He's kicking, and he'll kick still up [Gm] here.
And then he somehow winds up over here.
And I'm like, how did you get up?
I thought you were over there.
And he's like, surprise, I'm over here.
_ Elvis is the greatest entertainer that [N] ever lived. _ _ _
I'm not over him. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Yes, what is this?
Oh, sure, yeah, sure.
[Gm] You know, candy.
You know, it's candy.
If you have [D] a filter, [N] please don't mind.
Thank you very much. _
_ Elvis Presley, man. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Am] I love you [A] guys so much.
Thank [Am] you very much. _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Am] Love you guys.
Love you all so [C] much.
Sing it with me.
[Am] You know, you know,
the better [C] must be lies.
[Am] Right, right.
_ [F] So right.
[G] _
[C] There's got to be birds
[Am] flying higher
[F] in the sky.
[G] Oh, I do.
[C] If I can dream
of a better land
[F] where all my [E] brothers
want to get in it.
[G] Tell me why.
_ [Am] Why. Why.
[F] Oh, I don't [Em] know
what it _ [Dm] means.
_ [G] _ _
Oh, I _
know there [C] must be peace [Am] and understanding.
_ [D] Smile.
_ [G] _
I'm strong [C] with the promise
[Am] that will blow
in [F] all the doubt [G] and fear.
If [C] I can dream
of a sign
[F] that will keep
[E] shining on heaven,
[C] tell me why.
_ [Am] Why.
_ [F] Why won't [Em] that sign
[C] _ appear?
_ [F] _
Oh, [C] yeah. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ We are
[F#] the _ _ [C] _ two
that's not really here.
[F] And we're [F#] trapped
in the world
[C] where there's trouble and _ [F] pain.
But as long [D] as
a man [C] has the strength to
[Am] dream, he [D] can
redeem his
soul [G] and
fly. _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _
Way [D] down
_ [Bm] there's a sliver
[G] of _ [A] hope.
Still [D] I'm not sure
[Bm] that the answer
is [G] gonna come
[A] somehow.
I'll live [D] in the dark
with a black [G] burning candle.
_ [G#] Oh, I [D] can think
while [Bm] I can talk
while I [D] can stand
while [Bm] I can walk
while I [G] can dream. _ _
Live [E] my dream. _ _
Live [A] my dream.
Live my dream. _ _
Whoa. _ _ _
[D] Whoa.
_ _ _ [Bm] Whoa.
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] Oh, yeah.
[D] _ _ God bless you.
_ God bless you.
God bless you.
_ God bless you.
Thank you very much. _
_ Thanks [D#] a lot, man.
[G] _
