E5
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jamie Rogers on electro up high
Mama's dancin' - baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky          g a b

  Bsus4         B                    Asus4  A
  The boy could sing and knew how to move     everything
  Gsus4  G            Dsus4               D
  Always wanting more       it leaves you longin' for

    Am                   Dsus4        D
    Black velvet in that little boy's smile
    Am                     F             C
    Black velvet with that slow southern style
    Am                     Dsus4             D
    A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
    C     B7            (E5)
    Black velvet if you please

E5  x 2  (fill basse)

Up in Memphis the music is like a heat wave
White Lightnin' - bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby is in the heart of every school girl
Love Me Tender leaves 'em cryin' in the isles

  The way he moved it was a sin - so sweet and true
  Always wanting more it leaves you longin' for

    Refrain

E5  w/ ti solo

Am                  Bsus4        B           E5
Every word of every song that he sang is for you

Am                F
In a flash he was gone
               C (reste)  B7
It happened so soon          what could you do?
