_ _ [C] Elvis loved that big feeling.
[F] You know, he loved a big sound.
[E] He loved a big orchestra.
He would drown himself [G] in the bigness of all.
[A] Baby, _
_ [D] you lost that [Bm] loving [A] feeling.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ Elvis presently [G] with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
I really [Am] came up with this idea many [C] years ago.
_ _ [D] You lost that [G] loving feeling.
[A] _ You [D] lost that loving feeling.
Performing with the Philharmonic Orchestra [Bm] would have been a dream come true.
This is the record [Am] he would have loved to make.
He loved [C] that being surrounded by an [D] orchestra, a big band.
He would have [N] absolutely loved it.
Here he comes again, folks.
I did [A] want Elvis to have one of the [D] greatest orchestras in the world on this record.
And that's why I chose the Royal Philharmonic.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Gbm] Why you _ [Bm] say?
This is just an honour of him being able to do [G] that.
With him not being [D] here, but yet being here.
I think Elvis [A] Presley has been a legend.
And seeing [G] here the heavy road, I think [A] is one of [Bm] our dream [G] come true.
[D] Falling in love [A] with _ you.
We really regard this [Gbm] record as a brand new record.
And those [Bm] songs are going to be heard now in a way they've [E] never been heard before. _ _ _ _ _
I'm a steamroller baby.
I met him back in 70 and we [C] sat [E] up and talked all night long.
I look up at him and he [C] walks up and he looks down at me [E] and he goes_
[E] He says, Dwayne Eddy, you're too_
How much?
I can't do it like [C] he did it.
It was exciting.
It was exciting and just_
It was actually thrilling, I could [Eb] say.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] My guitar is very powerful.
[Gb] I have more power than most singers.
[C] And I discovered while working with this and [Am] rehearsing with it, he's more powerful than my guitar.
[Dm] _ _
[G] _ [C] We've always been driven [G] by the spirit of his voice.
Nothing else has mattered really.
We've listened to him [C] and that's really told us how to make this record. _ _ _
[G] It's one of the greatest things I've ever done.
[Cm] This is a highlight of my career.
_ [G] _
_ _ [Cm] _ [F] I think it's a really [Cm] incredible, the second album.
It's a sexy, smoldering sort of song.
[G] And I always love hearing [Cm] Elvis do it. _ _
No, he's not here.
It's [Eb] a virtual duet.
I [Gm] know he's still here.
_ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] He knew a lot of talent came out of England and at Abbey Road Studios.
For him to be able to go there and play such a prestigious place [Dm] with music history,
that's all he wanted.
He wanted to [F] hear the [Bb] violin.
He wanted to hear the blending of the sound.
The highs and lows [F] of coming in and just giving you chills.
He would stand there [Bb] and he'd just start shivering, you know, when [Eb] it was just [F] right.
[Bb] He never came to London.
But here he is, [F] the spirit of Elvis is in London.
In Abbey Road Studios with the Royal Philharmonic [E] Orchestra.
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] I don't know that there's any entertainer I've ever heard that could [B] sing a ballad the way he does.
And then sing [E] a rock song.
I really enjoy [Am] putting the guitar on it.
It's Elvis, you know.
[Em] What we've done with this record, I think, is [E] tied all those different elements together into one cohesive [A] piece of work.
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[Bm] It's as [D] good as it gets and Elvis [G] deserves as good as it gets.
