Here's your microphone.
[Em] Now you've done this song?
A few [G] times.
Well, I want to see [D] how good you do my song.
Now this man does the best Hurt I've ever heard.
I mean he does all these wonderful Elvis songs.
But [Em] now after we do the King is Gone, we're going to do an obscure Elvis song.
I want to see how good you remember these [G] obscure Elvis songs.
Right now.
Oh, I got to tell you this.
[Em] Two weeks after I did this song, I was on American Band's show.
Deacon Mark walked up to me.
And somehow I [G] knew.
[Em]
[D]
And he'd stand in front of a mirror, day and [Em] night.
And he'd listen [C#] to every one of his records.
[Em] He'd repeat every word, [G] every note.
[D] Until he'd finally get a record.
You do know this song.
[G] And I was determined that [A] maybe someday I could [F#m] stand in front of an audience.
And somebody [Bm] might come up to me and say,
Hey Ronnie, hey [Em] Doug.
Why you [A] boys sing this a little bit like Elvis.
[D]
[G] [D] [Bm]
[Em] [A]
[D] I've [Bm] been spared the Lord
[Em] While all the world [A] proclaimed in pain
Now [D] the King is gone
[Bm] And all the world is free
[Em] And the crown is safe
Oh, [A] and the grave
Of a working [Bm] man to royalty
To everlasting [G] fame
The [D] King is gone
[A] The ever King is gone
[D] What a lovely name
[Bm] The [D] ever King is gone
Oh, [A] the King is gone
[D] What a lovely name
[E] Here's one more.
[A] And [E] I [A] always [D] will
