E
I was thinking that night about Elvis

                              E7
Day that he died, day that he died

E
I was thinking that night about Elvis

                              E7
Day that he died, day that he died

E
Just a country boy that combed his hair

   A                                  E
He put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air

       C#m                    E
And he shook it like a chorus girl

       C#m                    E
And he shook it like a Harlem Queen

   C#m                      E
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby

         A                          E           E7
Like you never seen, like you never seen, never seen
[Instrumental] D C#m G E (2x) [Verse 2]

                              E7
Day that he died, day that he died

E                                  
How he took it all out of black and white

A                                         E
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight

       C#m                  E
And he shook it like a hurricane

   C#m                      E
He shook it like to make it break

       C#m                  E
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby

         A                               E              E7
With his soul at stake, with his soul at stake, soul at stake
[Instrumental] D C#m G E (2x) [Verse 3]

He was all alone in a long decline

A                                         E
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died

        C#m                       E
When he shook it and it rang like silver

   C#m                        E
He shook it and it shine like gold

   C#m                       E
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby

       A
And he blessed my soul, what's wrong with with me

    A                                              E            E7
And mentioned like a man on a fuzzy dream, a fuzzy dream, fuzzy dream
[Instrumental] D C#m G E (2x) [Outro]
       C#m                       E
And he shook it and it rang like silver

       C#m                         E
And he shook it and it shined like gold

   C#m                       E
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby

       A                                  E                E7
And he blessed my soul, yes he blessed my soul, blessed my soul
D C#m G E (4x)
