C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
F#sus2 G# C# G#
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
F# F#maj7 G#
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
A#m Fm F# C#
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
A#m Fm D#
And the sheep have gone astray
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"
CHORUS:
F#sus2 A#m
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
C# A#m
Throw out the lifeline
F#sus2 G# C# G#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
F#sus2 G# C# G#
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
F# F#maj7 G#
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
A#m Fm F# C#
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
A#m Fm D#
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio
CHORUS:
F#sus2 A#m
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
C# A#m
Throw out the lifeline
F#sus2 G# C# G#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
F#sus2 G# C# G#
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
F# F#maj7 G#
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
A#m Fm F# C#
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
A#m Fm D#
And the flagship founders in the bay
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck
CHORUS:
F#sus2 A#m
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
C# A#m
Throw out the lifeline
F#sus2 G# C# G#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
F#sus2 G# C# G#
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
F# F#maj7 G#
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
A#m Fm F# C#
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
A#m Fm D#
From Appomattox all in grey
C# C#/C A#m A#m/G#
Won't you take this message to the King for me
CHORUS:
F#sus2 A#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
C# A#m
Throw out the lifeline
F#sus2 G# A#m A#m/G#
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
F#sus2 A#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
C# A#m
Throw out the lifeline
F#sus2 G# C#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
