B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
Esus2 F# B F#
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
E Emaj7 F#
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
G#m D#m E B
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
G#m D#m C#
And the sheep have gone astray
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"
CHORUS:
Esus2 G#m
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
B G#m
Throw out the lifeline
Esus2 F# B F#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
Esus2 F# B F#
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
E Emaj7 F#
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
G#m D#m E B
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
G#m D#m C#
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio
CHORUS:
Esus2 G#m
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
B G#m
Throw out the lifeline
Esus2 F# B F#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
Esus2 F# B F#
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
E Emaj7 F#
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
G#m D#m E B
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
G#m D#m C#
And the flagship founders in the bay
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck
CHORUS:
Esus2 G#m
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
B G#m
Throw out the lifeline
Esus2 F# B F#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
Esus2 F# B F#
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
E Emaj7 F#
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
G#m D#m E B
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
G#m D#m C#
From Appomattox all in grey
B B/A# G#m G#m/F#
Won't you take this message to the King for me
CHORUS:
Esus2 G#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
B G#m
Throw out the lifeline
Esus2 F# G#m G#m/F#
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
Esus2 G#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
B G#m
Throw out the lifeline
Esus2 F# B
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
