Black Velvet
Alannah Myles
EbmMississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
EbmJimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high.
EbmMama's dancin', baby on her shoulders,
EbmThe sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
BThe boy could sing, knew how to Abmove, everything;
GbAlways wanting more, Dbhe'd leave you longing for.
AbmBlack velvet in that Dblittle boy's smile.
AbmBlack velvet in with that Eslow Hsouthern style.
AbmA new religion that'll Dbbring you to your knees,
HBlack Bvelvet, if you Ebmplease.
EbmUp in Memphis the music's like a heat wave,
EbmWhite lightnin', bound to drive you wild.
EbmMama's baby's in the heart of every school girl,
EbmLove me tender, leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles.
BThe way he moved it was a Absin so sweet and true,
GbAlways wanting more, Dbhe'd leave you longing for.
AbmBlack velvet in that Dblittle boy's smile.
AbmBlack velvet in with that Eslow Hsouthern style.
AbmA new religion that'll Dbbring you to your knees,
HBlack Bvelvet, if you Ebmplease.
AbmEvery word of every Bsong that he sang was for Ebmyou.
AbmIn a flash he was Egone, it happened so Hsoon.
BWhat could you Ebmdooooooooooo?
