     Fate had me playing in love twes my sweet heart.
     Act one was when I met you, I loved you at first glance
     You read your line so cleverly and never missed a 'q'
     Then came act 2, you seemed to change and you acted strange
     And why I'll never know.
     Honey, you're lying when you said you loved me
     And I had no cause to doubt you.
     But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
     Than go on living without you.
     Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
     With emptiness all around
     And if you won't come back to me
     Then make them bring the curtain down.

Wooden Heart

A             Asus4  A  Asus4
As the snow flies
     C#m               
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
  D                E
A poor little baby child is born
       A       Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
       A        Asus4  A  Asus
And his mama cries
          C#m            
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
        D            E
It's an-other hungry mouth to feed
       A     Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
                  E                   
People, don't you understand
                  D           A
The child needs a heeee-lping hand
   D                   E                    A
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               E
Take a look at you and me,
           D            A
Are we too bliiiiind to see,
D            C#m
Do we simply turn our heads
    Bm               E
And look the other way
            A       Asus4  A  Asus4
Well the world turns
      C#m
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D                          E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A            Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
        A            Asus4  A  Asus4
And his hunger burns
      C#m                  
So he starts to roam the streets at night
       D
And he learns how to steal
       E
And he learns how to fight
       A    Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
C#m
Then one night in desperation
  D         A
A young man breaks away
   D           A
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Bm                      E             
Tries to run, but he don't get far
        A         Asus4  A  Asus4
And his mama cries
     C#m                      
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
     D                         E
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
       A     Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
       A              Asus4  A  Asus4
As her young man dies,
    C#m 
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
   D                 E
An-other little baby child is born
       A     Asus4, A, Asus4
In the ghetto

C
The first time I saw you I knew I was
          F
Hooked on somebody other than me
    G7
The first time I held you your soft lips and blue eyes
                             C
Were as far as my eyes could see


Yes here in my arms I knew I had found
    F
The reason that I'm living for
    G7
And I felt the feeling such a wonderful feeling
                    C
That I'd never felt before

C                                   F
Baby you're love's been a long time coming
          G7                   C
Baby your love's got a hold on me
                             F
Baby your love's sure got me humming
          G7                      C
Baby your love's been a long time coming

G7                                   F
Deep in my heart there's a feeling I never knew
G7
Until I saw a love that was very new
    F                                      G7
I'm gonna tell everyone what good love can do

The warden threw a party in the county jail
prison band was there and they began to wail
band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
should've heard thosed kocked out jail birds sing


Chorus

     A7
Lets Rock !

Was a-dancin' to the Jail-house Rock!

Eb/ E/                                       Eb/ E/

Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy for Illinois went crash, boom, bang !
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang

Chorus

The sad sack was a-sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weeping all alone
The warden said: " Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair !"

Chorus

Eb/ E/                                       Eb/ E/

No one's lookin'; now's our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said " Nix, nix;
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Ever since my baby left me,

I found a new place to dwell.
                             E7
It's down at the end of lonely street at Heartbreak Hotel.

(Chorus:)
           A7
          You make me so lonely baby, I get so lonely,
          B7                       E
          I get so lonely  I could die.


2.   And although it's always crowded,
     you still can find some room.
     Where broken hearted lovers do cry away their gloom.
(repeat chorus)

3.   Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
     and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
     Well they been so long on lonely street
     They ain't ever gonna look back.
(repeat chorus)

4.   Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
     and you got a tale to tell.
     Just take a walk down lonely street to Heartbreak Hotel.
(repeat chorus and fade)

HOPE THIS HELPS ;)

Got to be birds flying higher in the sky more blue

Tell me why  oh why  oh why can't my dreams come true oh why

Someone will come to show the way

Or touch a leaf or see the sky
            Dm   G7  C
Then I know why  I believe

#1.

G7   C    Am7  Dm7 
Blue moon, 

 
G7                  C    Am7  Dm7 
You saw me standing alone.

 
          D7          C     Am7  Dm7  
Without a dream in my heart, 


          F          C   Am7  Dm7 
Without a love of my own.



#2.
 
G7   C    Am7  Dm7 
Blue moon, 


         G7              C     Am7  Dm7
You knew just what I was there for,

 
             G7       C      Am7
You heard me saying a prayer for,


 
F         G      C      
Someone I really care for. 



 
CHORUS: 

                Dm7     G7       C 
And then there suddenly appeared before me.


 
         Dm7                G7   C 
The only one my heart could ever hold.


 
        Fm7                Bb7    Eb 
I heard somebody whisper, 'Please adore me.'
 
 

           G                    D7        G    D7  G7 
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold.


#3.

 
G7   C     Am7 Dm7 
Blue moon,

 
G7                C     Am7 Dm7
Now I'm no longer alone.

 
          D7          C     Am7 Dm7
Without a dream in my heart,

 
          G7         C
Without a love of my own.

Steal my car,

Drink my liquor

From an old fruit jar.

With thunder crashing in my head

My pillow still wet from last night tears
    C                         E7
And as I think of giving up a voice inside my coffee-cup
     F                            A#    G7
Kept crying out and ringing in my ears

Don't cry daddy   daddy please don't cry

Daddy you've still got me and little Tommy

To feel the pain and hurt the worst

It's true but somehow it just don't seem right

Cause every time I cry I know it hurts my little children so

Oh mama liked the roses  she grew them in the yard
                  Dm           E7           A7
But winter always came around  and made the growing way too hard
                  Dm     G7                   C     A7
Oh mama liked the roses  and when she had the time
               Dm               E7                 A7
She'd decorate the living room  for all us kids to see

                D7            G7             D7       G7
When I hear the Sunday bells  ringing in the morning
           E7      A7               D7   G7
I remember crying  when she used to sing

Oh mama liked the roses  but most of all she cared
                 Dm               E7                 A7
About the way we learned to live  and if we said our prayers

Spoken: 
Dm       G7
You know I kept the family bible 
C                          A7
With a rose that she saved inside
Dm                         E7
It was pressed between the pages
     A7
Like it had found a place to hide

        Dm               G7                C    A7
Oh mama liked the roses  in such a special way
                    Dm            E7           A7
We bring them every mother's day  and put them on her grave
                  Dm     G7    C   A7
Oh mama liked the roses  mm-mm-mm
               Dm     G7    C   A7
Mama liked the roses  mm-mm-mm

A Date With Elvis

G			  Em
Born in the heat of the desert
Am                       D
My mother died giving me life
G                         Em
Deprived of the love of a father
Am                         D
Blamed for the loss of his wife
G                            Em
You know Lord I've been in a prison
Am                         D
For something that I never done
G                         Em
It's been one hill after another
Am                           D
I've climbed them all one by one

G                     C         G
Oh this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
                C           G     
A mountain that I may never climb
                 C       G
It isn't Lord a hill any longer
G             C             G
You gave me a mountain this time

G                          Em 
My woman got tired of the heartaches
Am                         D
Tired of the grief and the strife
G                       Em 
So tired of working for nothing
Am                     D   
Just tired of being my wife
G                      Em 
She took my one ray of sunshine
Am                       D
She took my pride and my joy
G                      Em 
She took my reason for living
Am                     D    
She took my small baby boy

G                     C         G
Oh this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
                C           G     
A mountain that I may never climb
                 C       G
It isn't Lord a hill any longer
G             C             G
You gave me a mountain this time

You gave me a mountain this time

You Gave Me A Mountain

C	   Em	
And now the end is near, 
	 Gm	        A7
And so I face the final curtain,
   Dm		       Dm7	
My friend, I'll say it clear, 
	      G7	         C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

      C		         C7
I've lived a life that's full,	
	    F                 Fm
I travelled each and every highway,
    C	       G                       F   C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

  C	            Em
Regrets, I've had a few,	 
          Gm               A7
But then again, too few to mention,
  Dm		   Dm7
I did what I had to do,
           G7               C
And saw it thru without exemption, 	

  C		         C7
I planned each chartered course, 
              F             Fm
Each careful step along the by way
    C	       G	                  F   C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

                C 	            C7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
	   F                     Fm
When I bit off more than I could chew,
            Dm7			G
But thru it all, when there was doubt, 
         Em              Am
I ate it up, and spit it out
	   Dm7              G		      F   C
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way

      C			      Em	
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
            Gm                A7
I've had my fill, my share of losing
    Dm	             Dm7		
And now, as tears subside, 
          G7      C
I find it all so amusing

   C   	           C7	       
To think I did all that, 
	   F		   Fm
And may I say, "Not in a shy way"
   C	     G	       F   C
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way

              C		       C7
For what is a man, what has he got, 
          F                         
If not himself, then he has not 
           Dm7		   G		     
To say the things he truly feels, 
	    Em                Am
And not the words of one who kneels
	   Dm7	            G                 F   C
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
           Dm7	            G 	              F   C
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way

My Way

C     D7                G  
Welcome to my world, won’t you come on in?
             C                         G 
Miracles I guess, still happen now and then.

Step into my heart, leave your cares behind

Welcome to my world built with you in mind.
D7                       G    D7                 G

D7                 G         A7                   D7
Ask and you’ll be given, the key to this world of mine.
                 C   D7              G
I'll be waiting here with my arms unfurled,
                  C   D7            G    C  G
Waiting just for you, welcome to my world.

Waiting just for you, welcome to my world.

Stripped of my heart  my soul

C
What now my love now that it's over

I feel the world closing in on me

Here comes the stars tumbling around me
                Dm                       C
And there's the sky where the sea should be

What now my love  now that you're gone

If I should live or die

C            G7         C            F
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
  C               F                  C
I reached out one night and you were gone
F                    G7              C             Am
Don't know why you'd run what you're running to or from
D7                                G7
All I know is I want to bring you home

       C              G7    C              F
So I'm walking in the rain  thumbing for a ride
        C         F     C
On this lonely Kentucky back-road
     F                  G7   C             Am
I've loved you much too long my love's too strong
   D7                                 G7
To let you go never knowing what went wrong

D7                          C
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Em                     Am        F               C
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
F        C          Em    Am            F
With the rain in my shoes searching for you
G7                   C    F      G7            C
In the cold Kentucky rain in the cold Kentucky rain

                 G7            C                F
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men
        C             F              C
Sitting on a bench outside a general store
          F              G7             C             Am
They said yes she's been here but their memory wasn't clear
       D7                          G7
Was it yesterday no wait the day before

C             G7          C                F
Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
          C                         F    C
Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon
      F                    G7         C            Am
As we drove on through the rain as he listened I explained
       D7                                  G7
And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you

The Wonder of You: Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

C               Em           F            C
The words of her promise, the flame of her faith,
     Am              F           C
The love that would never drift away,
C              G7                         C
Where did they go lord, oh where did they go.

C          Em           F         C
Somehow forever slipped out of my hands, 
        Am         F            C
And my dreams ran away with the wind,
C              G7                         C
Where did they go lord, oh where did they go.

C                    F           C
You know sometimes I wish I had lost her to another,
                  F            C
But lord she just walked off alone,
                       F           C               Am
The heart that?s within me isn't bitter, it's just empty,
       D7                           G7
And bewildered because her love has gone.

     C         Em           F           C
The passion I trusted, the truth that I leaned on,
        Am           F             C 
And the hope that forever keep me strong,
                               F               D7
I cry out my questions all the answers are all gone,
           C                    G7             Am   
Where did they go lord, tell me where did they go,
F              C                G7             F  C
Where did they go lord, tell me where did they go.

And my blue moon again will turn to gold.

D                                A
When my blue moon turns to gold again.

When the rainbow turns the clouds away.

When my blue moon turns to gold again.
                             D
You'll be back in my arms to stay.

Whether you're riding down a highway

Or walking down a street

It makes no difference baby

I'm gonna love you just as mean

C7            F
Cause holding your little hand

Makes me feel so very nice
G7
Anyplace is paradise
              C
When I'm with you


Whether we're standing on a doorstep

Or sitting at a park

Or strolling down shady lane

Or dancing in the dark

C7         F
Well I can take you in my arms

And look into your pretty eyes
G7
Anyplace is paradise
              C
When I'm with you
 

Give me a cave up in the mountain

Or a shack down by the sea

And I will be in heaven honey

If you are there with me

C7        F
Well kiss your pretty lips

See the love-light in your eyes
G7
Anyplace is paradise
              C
When I'm with you


Baby I'd live deep in the jungle

And sleep up in a tree

And let the rest of the world go be

If you were there with me

C7           F
Well I could love you all the time

Baby a jungle would be fine
