C#m  E  B  F#m (x2)

C#m          E             B   F#m
  Elvis in a ring of fire
C#m                 E                    B                F#m
  hips swingin' feet swimmin' in an old pair of blue suede shoes
C#m             E      B                  F#m
  eyes wide like dodos, hair black as coal
A                               E
  he's walking the streets of Memphis
B              A                  E
  pickin' up pennies found on their heads

C#m                   E         B   F#m
  he's dancin' like he's on TV
C#m           E              B           F#m
  I never realized but he's dancin' for me
C#m                  E             B               F#m
  he's got a lot of fans out there, but nobody cares
A                        E
  I just wanna hear him sing
B             A                E
  didn't he know he was the only king

C#m  E  B  F#m (x3)
A       E

C#m                   E                B   F#m
  he's actin' like it's his last chance
C#m                   E                B               F#m
  smoke risin' from his heels every time that he'd dance
C#m                  E            B                   F#m
  and blue rhinestones on his legs, flowers on his grave
A                     E
  I wonder what he'd say
B             A                  E
  if he knew people felt like him today

C#m  E  B  F#m (x3)
A       E

C#m          E             B   F#m
  Elvis in a ring of fire
C#m                 E                    B                F#m
  hips swingin' feet swimmin' in an old pair of blue suede shoes
