Black Velvet Tabulatur von Alannah Myles (für Baryton)

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:
