Ab Eb/G She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks Fm7 C# She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god Ab Eb/G So she names the baby Elvis Fm7 C# To make up for the royalty he lacked
[Chorus]
Ab Eb/G And from then on it was turpentine and patches Fm7 C# From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can Ab Eb/G And they were just two jerks playing with matches Fm7 C# Cause that's all they knew how to play
