Verse:
            A
If I could talk to Elvis
E
   I hope he'd have all day
             A
I'd ask him all about Memphis
E
   And that Vegas stage

F#m                                        E                Asus4 A
How'd he feel when he bought his mom with that pink Cadillac
                                       E
Coming from the barefoot start of the Mississippi shack?

                  A    Asus4 A
I'd make sure he knows        at Graceland
E                          A
   That people visit everyday


Chorus:
    D                           A
How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met?
E7                     A
  The years go by but none of us forget
D                                A
He felt like a friend to me and that's just what I'd tell him
E                   A
If I could talk to Elvis

Verse:
                  A
I'd tell him the world remembers
E
   Every song he sang
             A
And that we all (that we all) really love him (really love him)
E
   And not just know his name

    F#m                       E
He changed a generation with one swing of his hips
      A                             Esus4
We'd dreamed a little big 'cause of what he had to give

          A
Only the good (only ther good) die young,(die young) they say
E                          A
   But I wish he would've stayed


Chorus:
    D                           A
How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met?
E7                     A
  The years go by but none of us forget
D                                A
He felt like a friend to me and that's just what I'd tell him
E                  F#m7
If I could talk to Elvis


Bridge:
      E                           D
What was it like when you got to those gates?
      F#m                E                Bm7  Bm
I bet you were asked to sing for all the saints


Chorus:
    D                           A
How is it that I miss somebody that I've never met?
E7                    A
 The years go by but none of us forget
D                                   A
He felt like a friend to me there's so much I would tell him
       E
There wouldn't be me without him
 E    N.C.
Yeah, I would thank him

                    A
If I could talk to Elvis
