[D] [B] I was barely six [Em] years old when I first heard him sing, [A]
[E] and somehow I knew from [Em] that moment on
[A] that it would be a lifetime [D] thing.
And I'd stand in front of a mirror day and night,
[Em] and I'd listen to every one of his records, [A] and I'd [E] repeat every word [Em] and every note
[A] until I finally [D] got it right.
[G]
And I was determined that
[A] I'd wait for the day [D] that I could stand and sing in front of an [Bm] audience, and maybe someone would come up to [Em] me and say,
You know,
[A] you sound just like Elvis.
[D] [A]
[D] There was a man
who gave the [Bm] world his song,
[Em] and the world stood still [A] to hear him sing.
[D] A simple man
took [Bm] his faith along,
[Em] while all the world
proclaimed [A] him king.
[D] Now the king is gone,
[Bm] and oh, what a reign,
[Em] and the crown on his head
[A] will remain.
[D] From a working man, [Bm] to royalty, [Em] to everlasting
[G] fame,
[D] the king is gone.
[A] Yeah, the king is gone.
[D] With long live his name.
[Bb] [D]
[Eb] There was a man
[Cm] who tasted sweet success,
[Fm] but still gave his hand
to [Bb] help a friend.
[Eb] A loving man who shared [Cm] his happiness.
Now [Fm] the king is gone,
but [Bb] there was a [C] man.
[Bb]
[Eb] Now the king is gone,
[Cm] and oh, what a reign,
[Fm] and the crown on his head
[Bb] will remain.
From [Eb] a working man, [Cm] to royalty, [Fm] to everlasting [Ab] fame,
[Eb] the king is gone.
Yeah, [Bb] the king is gone.
Long live [Eb] his name.

[Eb] Yeah, the king is gone.
Oh, [Bb] the king is gone.
Long [Eb] live his name.
[Fm] Goodbye, [Bb] Alice.
We'll miss you.
