Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Elvis Presley



   C majorC        C/BC/B   A minorAm        Am/GAm/G
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
    Fsus2Fsus2     G+G      C majorC    G+G
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
    C majorC        C/BC/B   A minorAm           Am/GAm/G
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
    FF        Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
     A minorAm    E minorEm     FF     C majorC
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
    A minorAm     E minorEm   D MajorD
And the sheep have gone astray
    C majorC         C/BC/B       A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"

CHORUS:
     Fsus2Fsus2     A minorAm
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
C majorC       A minorAm
Throw out the lifeline
    Fsus2Fsus2   G+G     C majorC   G+G
'Cause somebody's drifting away."


    C majorC      C/BC/B        A minorAm       Am/GAm/G
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
     Fsus2Fsus2        G+G       C majorC   G+G
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
     C majorC       C/BC/B      A minorAm     Am/GAm/G
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
     FF       Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
       A minorAm  E minorEm       FF     C majorC
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
  A minorAm   E minorEm        D MajorD
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
        C majorC      C/BC/B     A minorAm   Am/GAm/G
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio


CHORUS:
     Fsus2Fsus2     A minorAm
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
C majorC       A minorAm
Throw out the lifeline
    Fsus2Fsus2   G+G     C majorC   G+G
'Cause somebody's drifting away."

    C majorC         C/BC/B      A minorAm       Am/GAm/G
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
    Fsus2Fsus2     G+G       C majorC   G+G
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
      C majorC       C/BC/B     A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
     FF         Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
    A minorAm     E minorEm     FF      C majorC
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
    A minorAm    E minorEm       D MajorD
And the flagship founders in the bay
     C majorC    C/BC/B     A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck


CHORUS:
     Fsus2Fsus2     A minorAm
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
C majorC       A minorAm
Throw out the lifeline
    Fsus2Fsus2   G+G     C majorC   G+G
'Cause somebody's drifting away."


   C majorC           C/BC/B       A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
      Fsus2Fsus2   G+G         C majorC   G+G
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
     C majorC       C/BC/B       A minorAm       Am/GAm/G
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
   FF           Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
    A minorAm     E minorEm   FF       C majorC
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
   A minorAm E minorEm      D MajorD
From Appomattox all in grey
     C majorC     C/BC/B      A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
Won't you take this message to the King for me


CHORUS:
      Fsus2Fsus2     A minorAm
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
C majorC       A minorAm
Throw out the lifeline
    Fsus2Fsus2   G+G     A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
      Fsus2Fsus2     A minorAm
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
C majorC       A minorAm
Throw out the lifeline
    Fsus2Fsus2   G+G     C majorC
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
