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

Well bless my soul, bless my soul

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
