[Intro 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
Mississippi [Am]in
the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up
high
Mama\'s dancin\' with
a baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin\' like
molasses in the sky
[Em]The boy could sing,
knew how to [Dm]move, everything
[C]Always wanting more,
[G]he\[G5]'d leave you longing for[Dm]
Black velvet and that [G]little
[Dm]boy\'s smile
Black velvet with that [Bb]slow southern [F]style
[Dm]A new religion that\[G]'ll bring
ya to your [F]knees
Black [E]velvet if you [Am]please
[C][Em][G]
[Am]
Up in Memphis the
music\'s like a heatwave
White lightning, bound to drive you
wild
Mama\'s baby\'s in the heart
of every schoolgirl
\"Love Me Tender\" leaves
\'em cryin\' in the [Dm]aisle
[E]The way he moved, it was a sin[Dm],
so sweet and [C]true
Always wanting more,
[G]he\'d leave you longing for[Dm]
Black velvet and [G]that little
boy\'s s[G5]mile[Dm]
Black velvet with that [Bb]slow southern [F]style
[Dm]A new religion that\[G]'ll bring
ya to your [F]knees
Black [Em]vel [E]vet if you p[Am]lease
[Dm]Every word of every song[E] that
he sang was [Am]for [Dm]you
In a flash, he was [Bb]gone,
it happened [F]so soon[E]
What could you [Am]do?[Eb][Am][Bb][G][Am][Dm][Am][Eb][Am][Dm][Am]
