You know Elvis he wrote a song for him, you know Johnny Cash, you know everybody
He hung around the Sun Records studio in Memphis watching and he says helping Sam Phillips to put it all [E] together
let me tell you about the
first hit Elvis Presley ever had
And I think this song tells a story better than anything that
That he ever did.
[Gb] He had the big lips, you know, and he
sang that [E] color color
the old law
Blue stuff I might [Abm] demonstrate a little over here at but well I used up now, Mississippi
I'd say [B] these nigger.
I mean these colored people, you know
Lot of people down here call them niggeress that's what they call them and
[Abm] They the blue stuff I would say they would chop this [A] guitar they get
You that one black man?
Come here.
I'll find you a trio
Yeah, you [D] that one black man?
Come here I'll find [A] you a trio
[E] Thought I'd hide my sheetings
[D] I'll some way grab your [A] chubby tail
[E] As [A] I was saying now that's old chopped [Gb] blues.
It was down there and all you take now Bill Monroe
[A] He had a bluegrass tune that was
The moon of Kentucky
Later was did by Elvis Presley
Thank you yet
Bill Monroe at the time when Elvis came up there really they
Get on there doing that song that way you can tell it everybody knew that
[Am] Love it when they seen it when they heard [Abm] it the bluegrass [A] tune when something like this
[D]
[A] Yeah
I know [E] what it's called and [A] said goodbye
Something of that sort [Dm] that's what we just change around [A] a bright slap bass
Runs up the reverb a slapback sound
