Chords for The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [D] Hey everybody, another day of [E] Elvis week has begun and we're here on the main stage, backstage
[A] actually in the green room and we've got a lot of ETAs that are hanging out and also
[Bm] performing for a huge [Bb] crowd.
But I'm going to go in the main section here and find [Cm] out what makes an ETA tick.
I got a, I got a, [C] I got a, [F] I got a feeling in my body, this is the [Bb] ETA of the [Cm] day. _ _ _
You really want to [F] respect Elvis and you really want to do it the right way [Ab] so, you know,
he really [G] tries to [Cm] do it accurately.
I always think about it, you know, I don't want to make a caricature out of him.
He's the greatest entertainer of all time, man, I mean it just transcends through the ages.
His music is amazing.
Do you wear makeup when you [F] perform?
Yes, usually just eye shadow and [Cm] stuff like that.
Eye shadow and stuff like that.
Just a darkener, just black wax basically.
To get that move right, do you just watch the footage?
I mean, what else can you do?
Yes, [Ab] there's a lot of footage of Elvis, [Cm] right?
So the [G] movie concert's here so I watch them all.
The way I kind of look [Cm] at it is like going from Clark Kent to Superman.
_ [Gm] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[B] [Eb] No that's bad, that's bad.
And then he goes.
[Gm] Right?
[Cm]
Oh, I got that.
Does anybody ever give you a hard time [Gm] for being an ETA when [Gb] they find out what you do?
_ [G] Man, they always do.
Usually I figure [C] they don't know what they're talking about.
Well, the ones that give you a hard time, they just don't understand.
They don't understand, yeah.
But you know, [Fm] explain to them and if they come to one of your shows [Cm] or something, you know.
They change.
They change their mind, yeah.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [C] _
[E] Hey everybody, what a great way to start the day.
We're here in [A] downtown Memphis, [Am] Hard Rock Cafe, a meet and greet with all [A] these ETAs
and I'm here with a very great Ben Portsmouth who won last year.
He won this competition last year.
This year he doesn't have to compete, but so you probably have some [C] pressure off of you, right?
[E] Yeah, the pressure's off.
I'm not a fan of [A] competitions.
Right.
So I'm glad it's all done and dusted.
I got the t-shirt.
[G] You got the t-shirt.
Well, not only does he have [A] the t-shirt, but he was able.
I got the belt.
You got the belt.
Oh good, man.
[C] That's a win.
I spent all the money.
You spent all [Em] the money.
Oh, geez.
Before some more [C] jumpsuits, right?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ They're all doing a fantastic job and that's why they're here [Dm] because they're doing it
right and doing it tight, man.
[Bm] Right?
Right?
Let's give it up for Elvis.
_ [C] _ _ _

This is a great event. _
_ We have 29 of the [D] best [E] performers in the world right here.
_ [A] _ _ I had more than trouble to turn into a struggle halfway [D] across Alabama.
[E] Well, I had to go down and left us all stranded in downtown [A] Birmingham.
_ Well, right away I pulled me a through train ticket right across [D] Mississippi Clean.
[E] I was on that midnight train.
Let's give all 29 a big round, ladies [Am] and gentlemen.

_ [A] _ _ [E] _ in Louisiana, _ where the alligators grow so big, _ there lived a girl that I swear to
the world, baby [Eb] alligator, [E] _ old Sally.
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Everybody said it was [A] a shame, cause [G] her mama wasn't [A] working on her table.
_ [Em] _ _ [Gm] _ _ And [C] pain [F] is all, [D] like [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] a [Eb] bridge over [C] troubled _ [Am] water.
[F] _
I [E] will [Am] lay me down, [Dm] _
like [F] a _ bridge [C] over troubled _ [Am] water.
[F] _ I [E] will lay [Am] me down.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [F] I'll be coming [G] _ home, _ away _ from [C] _ _ me.
[Am] Oh, my, _ _ _ [F] my darling, _ _
_ [G] 500 for [C] your touch _ _ [Am] alone.
_ _ _ [G]
Lonely night.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
I believe you [Db] do me wrong, and _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Dbm] do me wrong at [E] night. _ _

me wrong, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ and do me wrong at _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ night.
I'll be [A] coming home, away from me.
Oh, my, my darling, 500 for your touch alone.
This doesn't even feel real right now.
It hasn't sunk in at all.
I feel like this is all just kind of a dream or something right now, Brad.
Are you going to sleep tonight?
No, man.
We're going to jam all night long tonight.
Where are you jamming at?
