Chords for Gillian Welch - Elvis Presley Blues

_ _ _ _ _ [G] I wanted to see if the sun was down yet.
[D] We don't really dip into the truly dark and pitiful numbers until_
We got a little while to go.

_ I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
Just a country boy, he combed his hair
Put [G] on the shirt his mother [D] made and went on the air
[Bm] And he shook it like a [D] Coral's girl
_ [A] And he shook it like a [G] [D] Harlem queen
_ [Bm] And he shook it like a [D] midnight rambler
Baby, like [G] you never, _ [D] never see
Like you never see
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
I was [Dm] thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he [D] died, the day that he died
Cause he took it all out of black and white
_ [G] Grabbed it with one hand and the other [D] hand and he held on tight
And [Bm] he shook it like a hurricane
[D] _ _ _ [A] And he shook it like to make it [D] break
_ [Bm] And he shook it like a holy [D] roller
[Dm] Baby, [G] with his soul at stake, with his soul [D] at stake
With his soul at stake
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
[Am]
[D] He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking [G] how lucky John Henry [D] was that he fell down dying
When [Bm] he shook it and it rang like [D] silver
_ [Am] And he shook it and it [D] shined like gold
_ [Bm] When he shook it and it beat that [D] steam drill
Baby, [G] well, it blessed my soul, blessed [D] my soul
When [Bm] he shook it and it beat [A] that [D] steam drill
Baby, [Bm] well, it blessed my soul
What's wrong with [G] me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy [D] tree
On a fuzzy tree, _ fuzzy tree
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
The day that he died, the day that he died
Dressed [Dm] a concert boy, under corned his head
[D] _ [G] Put on the shirt his mother [D] made and he went on the air
[Bm] And he shook it like a chorus
[D] _ _
_ [A] And he shook it like a [Em] [D] Harlem queen
_ [Bm] And he shook it like a [D] midnight [A] rambler
Baby, like [G] you never seen, [D] never seen
Like you never seen, never seen
