D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
Gsus2 A D A
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
G Gmaj7 A
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
Bm F#m G D
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
Bm F#m E
And the sheep have gone astray
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"
CHORUS:
Gsus2 Bm
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
D Bm
Throw out the lifeline
Gsus2 A D A
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
Gsus2 A D A
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
G Gmaj7 A
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
Bm F#m G D
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
Bm F#m E
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio
CHORUS:
Gsus2 Bm
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
D Bm
Throw out the lifeline
Gsus2 A D A
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
Gsus2 A D A
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
G Gmaj7 A
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
Bm F#m G D
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
Bm F#m E
And the flagship founders in the bay
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck
CHORUS:
Gsus2 Bm
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
D Bm
Throw out the lifeline
Gsus2 A D A
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
Gsus2 A D A
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
G Gmaj7 A
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
Bm F#m G D
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
Bm F#m E
From Appomattox all in grey
D D/C# Bm Bm/A
Won't you take this message to the King for me
CHORUS:
Gsus2 Bm
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
D Bm
Throw out the lifeline
Gsus2 A Bm Bm/A
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
Gsus2 Bm
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
D Bm
Throw out the lifeline
Gsus2 A D
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
