[Intro] G C G D D7 D7#9 (x2) [Verse 1]
G          A7          D                G
Once long ago, all the faithful held a show

                       A7           C7
Down in Elvis Presley Boulevard on Memphis Radio

             G              A7            D                   G
Where the hopeless held a vigil and the nameless played the charts

                             A7             C7
Where the losers lost their sorrow and the lonely left their hearts
[Chorus]
Bb                           Am
Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell

Dm7                     G      C   G
"Love me so tender," I cry

Bb/F                 F
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel

C                     D
I'm so alone, I could die
[Verse 2]
G         A7          D           G
I took a ride with my baby by my side

                       A7              C7
Down to Elvis Presley Boulevard where all the faithful cried

      G               A7              D              G
And I saw that silent mansion and I knew that I was lost

                            A7          C7
They were selling plastic souvenirs of Elvis on the cross
[Chorus]
Bb                           Am
Step on these shoes then I'll see you in hell

Dm7                     G     C   G
"Love me so tender," I cry

Bb/F                  F
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel

C                     D
I'm so alone, I could die
[Bridge]
Eb    F7         Bb      Eb  Cm7   F7      Bb
Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone

Eb F7     Gm7                         Am7     D7#9   N.C.
No body's home but the light's always on
[Verse 3]
G          A7           D            G
Man I was beat, I was driven by the heat

                        A7          C7
Down to Elvis Presley Boulevard, a one-way dead end street

       G                 A7           D               G
And I smashed my car to pieces and I said goodbye to youth

                      A7            C7
I heard all the ugly rumors and I could not face the truth
[Solo] Bb7 Am Dm G C G [Chorus]
Bb/F                  F
Save me a room in the Heartbreak Hotel

C                      D
I'm so alone, I could die
N.C Drive down that road tonight, everyone is gone
Eb   F7    Gm7                    Am7        D7#9
No  body's home but the light's always on
