G D
Of the lead singer of the opening act who had just left the stage
Am C D
I saw youthful greatness in his eyes despite his age
And he said,
Take a picture why don?t ya?, many others have done the same
Cause I was once called Elvis Presley, but now Jackson is my name
We sat there in silence as reality set in
And I had so many things to ask him and didn?t know where to begin

He said I never died I was just tired
C G
Of living in Tennessee

His voice was undeniably of the man that he claimed to be
He wore a Poor David?s Pub t-shirt and a faded pair of jeans
The smell of a bar at midnight, man this is what it?s all about
You know I tried to get back for years, but the Colonel sold me out

(There?s a little bridge that?s just G and C back and forth about three times)
Chorus
