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