Dm
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
Dm
Jimmy Rodgers on the victrola up high.
Dm
Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders,
Dm
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
A                               G
The boy could soon know how to move everything;
F                   C
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

Chorus:

Gm                     C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile.
Gm                         D#   A#
Black velvet in with that slow southern style.
Gm                      C
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
A#      A              Dm
Black velvet, if you please.

Dm
Up in Memphis, the music's like a heatwave,
Dm
White lightening bound to drive you wild.
Dm
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl,
Dm
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles.
A                         G
The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true,
F                   C
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

Chorus:

Gm                     C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile.
Gm                         D#   A#
Black velvet in with that slow southern style.
Gm                      C
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
A#      A              Dm
Black velvet, if you please.

Bridge:

Gm                   A                        Dm
Every word of every song that he sang was for you.

Gm                 D#                   A#
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
A#      A              Dm
Black velvet, if you please.
