Chords for Elvis Presley Only The Strong Survive Song & Lyrics

_ I remember my first love affair.
[Db] Somehow or another, the whole darn thing went wrong.
My mama had some great advice,
so I thought I'd put it in the words of this [Ab] song.
I can still hear it singing.
_ _ Boy, oh, I see [Db] you sitting out there all alone
_ Crying your eyes out
[Ab] Cause the woman that you love is gone
Oh, that's gonna _ _ be a whole [Db] lot of trouble in your life
[Bbm] Oh, so listen to [Eb] me, get up [F] off of your knees
[Ab] Cause only the strong [Ab] survive
That's what she said, only the strong survive
Only the strong [Bbm] survive
Oh, you're [Cm] young and strong
You [Eb] better hold on, don't [Ab] go
All around with [Db] your head hung down
_ Well, I wouldn't let that little girl know
I wouldn't let her know
[Ab] She made me feel like a clown
There's a whole lot of girls
Looking for a good man like [Bbm] you
[Ab] Oh, but you'll never meet them if you give up now
And say your life is through
And she said, only the strong survive
[Db] Only the strong survive
_ Oh, you gotta be a man, you [Eb] gotta take a stand
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
Only the strong survive
Only the [Bbm] strong survive
Well, [Cm] you're young and strong
[Eb] You better hold on
[Ab] Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong [Bbm] survive
_ [Cm] Well, you gotta be a man, you gotta take a stand
[Ab] Only the strong survive
[Fm] Only the strong [Ab] survive
Only the strong [Bbm] survive
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
