Elvis Presley - King Creole w/lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
[G]
[Bb] King Creole!
There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll
He's a guitar man with a great big soul
He leads down the beat like a ton of coal
He [D] goes by the name of King [Eb] Creole
You know he's gone gone gone
Jumping like [Bb] catfish on a pole
[F] You know he's gone gone [Eb] gone
And a hip shaking [Bb] King Creole
King Creole!
The King starts to do it, it's as good as done
He holds his guitar like a Tommy gun
He starts to growl without any throat
He [N] bends a string and that's all she [Eb] wrote
You know he's gone gone gone
Jumping like [Bb] catfish on a pole
You [F] know he's gone gone [Dm] gone
And a hip shaking King Creole
[Bb] King Creole!
He sings a song by the craw that hole
He sings a song by the jelly roll
He sings a song by the pork and greens
He [E] sings some blues by [Eb] New Orleans
You know he's gone gone gone
Jumping like [Bb] a catfish on a pole
[F] You know he's gone [Eb] gone gone
And a hip shaking [Bb] King Creole King Creole!
[Dm]
[Eb] [F] [Dm] [Bbm]
[F] [D] [Gm]
[Bb] He plays something evil and he plays something sweet
No matter how old he is you gotta get up on your feet
And when he gets a rockin' fever baby heaven sinks
He [A] don't stop playing till his guitar [Eb] breaks
You know he's gone gone gone
Jumping like [Bb] a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone [Eb] gone gone
And a hip [Bb] shaking King Creole King Creole!
[F] You know he's gone [Eb] gone gone
Hip shaking King [Bb] Creole
King Creole!
[Gm]
