The Elvis Presley Blues
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
F C
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
Am C
And he shook it like a chorus girl
G C
And he shook it like a Harlem Queen
Am C
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
F C
Like you never seen, you never seen
[Verse 2]
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
How he took it all out of black and white
F C
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
Am C
And he shook it like a hurricane
G C
He shook it like to make it break
Am C
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
F C
With his soul at stake, his soul at stake
[Verse 3]
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, day that he died
He was all alone in a long decline
F C
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
Am C
When he shook it and he rang like silver
G C
He shook it and he shine like gold
Am C
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
F C
Well bless my soul, bless my soul
Am C
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
F C
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?
Delilah
Am E7
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
Am E7

She was my woman
Am E7 Am G7
As she deceived me I watched, and went out of my mind
C G
My, my, my, Delilah
G B C
Why, why, why, Delilah
C C7 F Dm
I could see that girl was no good for me
C G C E7
But I was lost like a slave that no one could free
Am E7
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
Am E7
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
A A7 Dm
She stood there laughing
Am E7 Am G7
I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more
C G
My, my, my, Delilah
G B C
Why, why, why, Delilah
C C7 F Dm
So before they come to break down the door
C G C E7
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more

She stood there laughing

I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more

So before they come to break down the door
