Chords
Verse 1:
Em
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell,
Jimmy Rogers on the Victr'la up high,
mama's dancing with baby on her shoulders,
the sun is setting like molasses in the sky.
Bsus B Asus A
The boy could sing, knew how to move everything,
Gsus G Dsus D
always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
Chorus:
Am7 D
Black velvet and that little boy smile,
Am7 F C
black velvet and that slow southern style,
Am7 D
a new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
C7 C6 Em
black velvet, if you please.
Verse 2:
Em
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 crying in the aisle.
Bsus B Asus A
The way he moved it was so sweet and true,
Gsus G Dsus D
alway wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
Chorus:
Em
Every word and every song that he sang was for you,
in a flash he was gone, it happened so soon.
What could you do?
Chorus:
