Elvis Presley – King Creole (Guitar)

------> Capo 1 <-------

A
There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll

A
He's a guitar man with a great big soul

A
And he lays down a beat like a ton of coal

A
He goes by the name of King Creole

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone

                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah

              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone

    D                    A
And hip shaking King Creole

A
When the King starts to do it it's as good as done

A
He holds his guitar like a tommy gun

A
He starts to growl from way down in his throat

A
He bends a string and that's all she wrote

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone

                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole

              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone

    D                   A
And hip shaking King Creole

A
He sings a song about a crawdad hole

A
He sings a song about a jelly roll

A
He sings a song about pork and greens

A
He sings some blues about New Orleans

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone

                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah

               E
You know he's gone, gone, gone

    D                   A
And hip shaking King Creole

A
He plays something evil then he plays something sweet

A
No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet

A
And when he gets the rockin' fever baby, heaven sakes

A
He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone

                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah

              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone

    D                   A
And hip shaking King Creole

              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone

D                   A
Hip shaking King Creole
