I [F#]
[G#m] can't see Elvis skinny [B] like he was back [F#] in 57 razor quiffed [G#m] and leather squeezed
cyphers [B] flickering in the breeze that blows across [F#] the veils of heaven
I [B] [F#]
[G#m] can't see Elvis [B] frowned like a king astride [F#] a golden Harley smoking a reefer
[G#m] he just rolled full of [B] acapulco gold with [F#] Hendrix, Bean and Marley
[B] [F#]
I [G#m] can't see Elvis [B] prowling like a cat across [F#] a funky bandstand Keith Moon behind [G#m] him banging drums
Charlie Parker [B] all thumbs John [F#] Lennon doing handstands

[G#m] can't see Elvis high [B] and low and high and low [F#] and high
he's haunting looking for [G#m] a special prey who only just arrived [B] up here today
break [F#] out the punting
[B] [F#] I [G#m] can't see Elvis he's writing [B] songs that down in a little
[F#] leather journal adhere of [G#m] all the words he wrote [B] I am gonna slip the flu of that skiff [F#] on the kernel
