[A] I was thinking last night about Elvis
The day that he died, the [D] day that he [A] died
I [E] [A]
was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his [E] hair
[D] And he put on a shirt his mama made [A] and he went on the air
And [F#m] he shook it like a chorus [A] girl
And [E] he shook it like a Harlem [A]
queen
He [F#m] shook it like a midnight [A]
rambler
Baby, like you've never [D] seen, [A] never seen
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
How he took it all out, oh, black and white
[D]
Grabbed his wand in the other hand [A] and he held on tight
And [F#m] he shook it like a [A] hurricane
[E] He shook it like a naked [A] break
And [F#m] he shook it like a [A] haunted brawler
Baby, with [D] his soul at stake, his soul [A] at stake
I [F#m]
was [A] [E]
[A]
thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
[Am] [A] He was all alone in a long, big cloud
[D] Thinking how happy John Henry was that [A] he fell down in bed
When [F#m] he shook it and it rang [A] like silver
He [E] shook it and it shined [A] like gold
[F#m] He shook it and he did [A] that steam drill
Baby, [D] well, bless my soul, bless [A] my soul
I was thinking [E] last night about [Am] Elvis
