was thinking that night about Elvis, did he die, did he die?
I was thinking that night about Elvis, did he die, did he die?
And the country boy with the golden hair
[A] Put on a shirt his mama made [E] and he went on the air
And [C#m] he shook it like a chorus, [E] oh
[C#m] He shook it like a harmony, [E] oh
[C#m] He shook it like a holy [E] roller, baby
[A] With his soul at stake, his [E] soul at stake, his soul at stake
I was thinking that night about Elvis, did he die, did he die?

I took it all, I'm glad, why?
[A] He grabbed his wand with the other [E] hand and he held on tight
[C#m] And he shook it like a chorus, [E] oh
[C#m] He shook it like to make [E] him pray

He was all alone, he was all mine
[A] He knew how happy John Henry [E] was when he held down his knife
[C#m] And he shook it and it rang [E] like a single bell
He [C#m] shook it and it shined [E] like gold
He shook it [C#m] and it beat like a single bell, [A] baby
And it blessed my soul, what's wrong with me?
I met him like a man on a fuzzy tree, [E] a fuzzy tree, a fuzzy tree
[Em] [E]
And [C#m] he shook it and it rang like [E] a single bell
Oh, [C#m] he shook it and it shined like [E] gold
[C#m] He shook it and it beat like a [E] steam drill, baby
