[D] I was barely [E] six years old when I first heard him sing, [A] [Em] and somehow I knew from that moment on
[A] that it would be a [D] lifetime thing.
And I'd stand in front of a mirror day and night,
[Em] and I'd listen to every one of his records, [A] and [E] I'd repeat every word and [Em] every note
[A] until I finally got it [D] right.
[G] And I was determined that
[A] I'd wait for the day [D] that I could stand and sing in [Bm] front of an audience, and maybe someone would come [Em] up to me and say,
you know, [A] you sound just like Elvis.
[D]
[A] [D] There was a man who gave the [Bm] world his song,
[Em] and the world stood still [A] to hear him sing.
[D] A simple man [Bm] who took his faith along
[Em] while all the world [A] proclaimed him king.
[D] Now the king is gone, and oh, [Bm] what a reign,
[Em] and the crown on his head [A] will remain.
From [D] a working man [Bm] to royalty to [G] everlasting fame,
[D] the king is gone, [A] yeah, the king is gone, [D] with long live his name.
[Bb] [D] [Eb] There was a man [Cm] who tasted sweet success,
[Fm] but still gave his hand to [Bb] help a friend.
[Eb] A loving man [Dm] who shared [Cm] his happiness.
Now [Fm] the king is gone, [Bb] but there was a man.
[Eb] Now the king is gone, [Cm] and oh, what a reign,
[Fm] and the crown on his head
[Bb] will remain.
[Eb] From a working [Cm] man to royalty [Fm] to everlasting [Ab] fame,
[Eb] the king is gone, yeah, [Bb] the king is gone, long live [Eb] his name.
[Cm] [Eb] Yeah, the king is gone, [Cm] oh, [Bb] the king is gone, [Eb] long live his name.
