Counting Crows – Elvis Went To Hollywood (Guitar)

C
November promises it seems,

C
Broken February dreams

C
That don’t come true,

C
But do you remember me? 

C       C       C#           D#   
I don’t remember you

C       B      A      G           F
Were you the one who liked to sing?

F
Or just some other one, it’s strange

C       B      A      G           F
How hate remains she stays the same

F
And we’re always changing

D                         A
We are driving on the ceiling, 

            C         G
There are aliens on motorcycles,

D                    A
Riding in the radio

            C                          G
While we destroy the world

           D               A
I said, Oh oh oh no no,

               C                            G
And the news it read the future’s dead,

            D                     A
When Elvis went to Hollywood,

C           G       
That’s when….  [STOP]

D              A              C               G               x2
VERSE 2

C
So long goodbye,

C
The taste of wedding cakes,

C
The sound of nursery rhymes,

C
The ghost of Fredericksburg,

C
Of Alex Chilton,

C
Of Victor Frankenstein,

C       B      A      G           
The girl you always loved,

       F
The one you have no memory of,

C       B      A      G           
It’s strange how hate remains,

                       F
She prayed for rain on the invasion

D                         A
We are driving on the ceiling, 

            C         G
There are aliens on motorcycles,

D                    A
Hiding in the radio

            C                          G
While we devour the world

           D               A
I said, Oh oh oh no no,

               C                            G
And the future said the news is dead

            D                     A
When Elvis went to Hollywood,

C           G       
That’s when….  [STOP]

                    C          G
The god of man proclaimed,

       F
The last evacuation of a dream.

        C
The gospel screamed

                   F
A song of movie stars

                               C
And girlie magazines

C       B      A      G           
The spaceman too

                  F
From somewhere far away

C       B      A      G           
We wait in vain,

                       F
The rocket’s came and now we’re fading

D                         A
We are hiding on the ceiling, 

            C         G
There are aliens on motorcycles,

D                    A
Riding from the radio

            C                          G
While they destroy the world

           D               A
I said, Oh oh oh no no,

               C                            G
And the paper’s said the king is dead

            D                     A
When Elvis went to Hollywood,

C           G       
That’s when….  [STOP]
