Chords for Elvis Presley - First appearance on the Louisiana Hayride - October 16, 1954

Lucky Strike guest time now.
Just a few weeks ago a young man from Memphis, Tennessee recorded a song on the Sun label.
And in just a matter of a few weeks that record has skyrocketed right up the charts.
It's really doing good all over the country.
He's only 19 years old.
He has a new distinctive style.
Elvis Presley.
Let's give him a nice hand.
_ We've been singing his songs around here for weeks and weeks and weeks.
[A] Elvis, how are you this evening?
It's fine, how are you sir?
You all geared up with your band there?
I'm all geared up.
So let us hear your songs.
_ _ [E] Well, I like to say how happy we are to be down here.
It's a real honor for us to get a chance to appear on the Louisiana Hayride.
