Elvis Presley

C C/B Am Am/G Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night Fsus2 G C G Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze C C/B Am Am/G Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright F Fmaj7 G But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees Am Em F C He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate Am Em D And the sheep have gone astray C C/B Am Am/G And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me" [Refrão] Fsus2 Am He said, "Throw out the lifeline C Am Throw out the lifeline Fsus2 G C G 'Cause somebody's drifting away." C C/B Am Am/G Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks Fsus2 G C G Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside C C/B Am Am/G They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack F Fmaj7 G Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide Am Em F C But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground Am Em D And Lincoln moulders in the clay C C/B Am Am/G And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio [Refrão] Fsus2 Am Singing, "Throw out the lifeline C Am Throw out the lifeline Fsus2 G C G 'Cause somebody's drifting away." C C/B Am Am/G Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips Fsus2 G C G Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool C C/B Am Am/G 'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship F Fmaj7 G But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool Am Em F C So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard Am Em D And the flagship founders in the bay C C/B Am Am/G While the captain paces on the quarterdeck [Refrão] Fsus2 Am Crying, "Throw out the lifeline C Am Throw out the lifeline Fsus2 G C G 'Cause somebody's drifting away." C C/B Am Am/G These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet Fsus2 G C G Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line C C/B Am Am/G 'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street F Fmaj7 G Even though my heart's been broken for some time Am Em F C Oh, if you should meet me on the march Am Em D From Appomattox all in grey C C/B Am Am/G Won't you take this message to the King for me [Refrão] Fsus2 Am Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline C Am Throw out the lifeline Fsus2 G Am Am/G 'Cause somebody's drifting away" Fsus2 Am Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline C Am Throw out the lifeline Fsus2 G C 'Cause somebody's drifting away."
