Viva Las Vegas chords * Elvis Presley 1963 (Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_Las_Vegas G [Verse 1]
G                       Em     G
Bright light city gonna set my soul

      Em             G
Gonna set my soul on fire

      G            Em           G
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,

   Em                  G
So get those stakes up higher

          Em                    G           Em
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there

                       G         Em
And they're all livin' devil may care

                            G       Em
And I'm just the devil with love to spare
[Chorus 1]
C        G      C        G
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
[Verse 2]
G               Em         G
How I wish that there were more

         Em          G            Em
Than the twenty-four hours in the day

               G          Em    G
'Cause even if there were forty more

                   Em      G
I wouldn't sleep a minute away

            Em                           G        Em
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel

                          G     Em
A fortune won and lost on every deal

                                    G        Em 
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
[Chorus 2]
C        G      C        G
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
[Bridge]
C    
Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashin'
And your one arm bandits crashin'
G                        Em
All those hopes down the drain

C
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
       A
If you see it once

                          D
You'll never be the same again
[Verse 3]
          G           Em
I'm gonna keep on the run

          G            Em
I'm gonna have me some fun

      G           Em        G
If it costs me my very last dime

             Em
If I wind up broke up well

     G                      Em             G   
I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time

Em                      G          Em
 I'm gonna give it everything I've got

                         G         Em
Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot

                          G     Em
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
[Chorus 3]
C        G      C        G      C        G
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas

C      D         G
Viva,  Viva  Las Vegas
