Chords

This approximates the studio version from Todd's Cash Cabin Sessions, Vol. 3 record. Live ("Purple Version") uses no harmonica, the chords from the Verse as an Intro, and omits the Coda [Intro] (harmonica over) C Gadd4 Am C Gadd4 Am D7/F# [Verse 1]
G                           A
There was a time when I was working with Elvis

B7                        Em
Nobody ever believes a word I tell them but it's true

C               G                Am  D7  Am   D7
Everywhere that he went, well, I went too

D7
He always knew what to do til he overdid it
[Chorus]
C         Gadd4/B  Am
Watering flowers     in the pouring rain

C            Gadd4/B   Am
Pouring over memories     to an old refrain

C      Gadd4/B   Am       D7
On the head of a pin in a hurricane
[Verse 2]
G                         A
We started falling out of each others lives when

B7                         Em
His wife left him and then mine left me too

C                         G               Am  D7  Am   D7
I've always tried not to talk so much but I   still    do

D7
The next thing I knew I was working in a new band
[Chorus]
  C       Gadd4/B  Am
Watering flowers     in the pouring rain

C            Gadd4/B   Am
Pouring over memories     to an old refrain

C      Gadd4/B   Am             D7
On the head of a pin in a hurricane
[Coda] (harmonica over) Am D7 Am D7
G                           A
There was a time when I was working with Elvis

B7                        Em
Nobody ever believes a word I tell them but it's true
