Black Velvet
Alannah Myles
DmMississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
DmJimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high.
DmMama's dancin', baby on her shoulders,
DmThe sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
AThe boy could sing, knew how to Gmove, everything;
FAlways wanting more, Che'd leave you longing for.
GmBlack velvet in that Clittle boy's smile.
GmBlack velvet in with that Ebslow Bsouthern style.
GmA new religion that'll Cbring you to your knees,
BBlack Avelvet, if you Dmplease.
DmUp in Memphis the music's like a heat wave,
DmWhite lightnin', bound to drive you wild.
DmMama's baby's in the heart of every school girl,
DmLove me tender, leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles.
AThe way he moved it was a Gsin so sweet and true,
FAlways wanting more, Che'd leave you longing for.
GmBlack velvet in that Clittle boy's smile.
GmBlack velvet in with that Ebslow Bsouthern style.
GmA new religion that'll Cbring you to your knees,
BBlack Avelvet, if you Dmplease.
GmEvery word of every Asong that he sang was for Dmyou.
GmIn a flash he was Ebgone, it happened so Bsoon.
AWhat could you Dmdooooooooooo?
