A A/G# F#m F#m/E
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
Dsus2 E A E
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
D Dmaj7 E
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
F#m C#m D A
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
F#m C#m B
And the sheep have gone astray
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"
CHORUS:
Dsus2 F#m
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
A F#m
Throw out the lifeline
Dsus2 E A E
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
Dsus2 E A E
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
D Dmaj7 E
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
F#m C#m D A
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
F#m C#m B
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio
CHORUS:
Dsus2 F#m
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
A F#m
Throw out the lifeline
Dsus2 E A E
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
Dsus2 E A E
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
D Dmaj7 E
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
F#m C#m D A
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
F#m C#m B
And the flagship founders in the bay
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck
CHORUS:
Dsus2 F#m
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
A F#m
Throw out the lifeline
Dsus2 E A E
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
Dsus2 E A E
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
D Dmaj7 E
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
F#m C#m D A
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
F#m C#m B
From Appomattox all in grey
A A/G# F#m F#m/E
Won't you take this message to the King for me
CHORUS:
Dsus2 F#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
A F#m
Throw out the lifeline
Dsus2 E F#m F#m/E
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
Dsus2 F#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
A F#m
Throw out the lifeline
Dsus2 E A
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
