[Verse 1] 
E I was thinking that night about Elvis
E7 Day that he died, day that he died
E I was thinking that night about Elvis
E7 Day that he died, day that he died
E Just a country boy that combed his hair
AE He put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
C#mE And he shook it like a chorus girl
C#mE And he shook it like a Harlem Queen
C#mE He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
AEE7 Like you never seen, like you never seen, never seen
 [Instrumental]

[Verse 2] 
E I was thinking that night about Elvis
E7 Day that he died, day that he died
E I was thinking that night about Elvis
E7 Day that he died, day that he died
E How he took it all out of black and white
AE Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
C#mE And he shook it like a hurricane
C#mE He shook it like to make it break
C#mE And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
AEE7 With his soul at stake, with his soul at stake, soul at stake
 [Instrumental]

[Verse 3] 
E I was thinking that night about Elvis
E7 Day that he died, day that he died
E I was thinking that night about Elvis
E7 Day that he died, day that he died
E He was all alone in a long decline
AE Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
C#mE When he shook it and it rang like silver
C#mE He shook it and it shine like gold
C#mE He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
A And he blessed my soul, what's wrong with with me
AEE7 And mentioned like a man on a fuzzy dream, a fuzzy dream, fuzzy dream
 [Instrumental]

[Outro] 
C#mE And he shook it and it rang like silver
C#mE And he shook it and it shined like gold
C#mE He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
AEE7 And he blessed my soul, yes he blessed my soul, blessed my soul
