Dolly Parton – I Dreamed About Elvis (Guitar)

C
Last night, I dreamed of Elvis, he was standing in the light

                    F                              C
Looking radiant and beautiful, just like he did in life

C
I said, "E, it's good to see you, look so healthy and at peace"

         F                                G                  C
He said "You know, I’m really happy here, how's things in Tennessee?"

C
Well, I told him we all missed him, that the whole world loved the King

         F                                                          C
He said "You know, if things were different, I'd ask you to wear my ring"

C
I said, "El, uh, can I call you El?"

C
"Ah, Elvis, El, or E"

         F                           G                      C
I said, "Am I just dreamin’, or were you just flirtin' with me?"

C
"Uh-huh-huh"

C                               F
Whoa-ho, I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis

G                        C
Dreamed about Elvis last night

                              F
We sang "Don't Be Cruеl" and "All Shook Up"

      G                 C
"Heartbreak Hotel" and "That's Alright"

                F                G            C
"Lеt Me Be Your Teddy Bear" and "Blue Hawaii" too

                      F
"Jailhouse Rock" and "Viva Las Vegas"

G         C
"Kentucky Moon of Blue"

C
"Blue Moon of Kentucky" (Shine on)

C
Then he curled his lip and said

C
"You know, you remind me a little of Monroe"

C
"Oh," and I said, "Really? Marilyn?" And he said

C
"No, Bill"

C
"Bill, the King of Bluegrass?"

C
"Uh-huh"

C                      F
I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis

G                        C

I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis

G                   C
Dreamed about Elvis last night

C
Oh, oh yeah

C
And the dream went on

C
And I dreamed I said in real life, "You sang so many songs

      F                                                  C
And I always thought I'd like to hear you sing one of my own"

C
He said "I almost did one of yours, the one about true love

F                                          G               C
The 'I Will Always Love You' song, but the Colonel screwed that up"

C
Well, he sure did, but after all, this is my dream

                                 F
It would be a dream come true if maybe you could sing it now

    G                C
And let me sing with you, and we sang

Am     F G    C         Am F      G    C     F C  G
I will always love you, I  will always love you

      Am
And I hope (I hope)

G                        F       G
You have all that you've dreamed of

C
And happiness (And happiness)

     Am       G            F                    G

Then he faded into the light
