G G/F# Em Em/D
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
Csus2 D G D
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
G G/F# Em Em/D
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
C Cmaj7 D
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
Em Bm C G
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
Em Bm A
And the sheep have gone astray
G G/F# Em Em/D
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"
CHORUS:
Csus2 Em
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
G Em
Throw out the lifeline
Csus2 D G D
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
G G/F# Em Em/D
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
Csus2 D G D
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
G G/F# Em Em/D
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
C Cmaj7 D
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
Em Bm C G
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
Em Bm A
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
G G/F# Em Em/D
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio
CHORUS:
Csus2 Em
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
G Em
Throw out the lifeline
Csus2 D G D
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
G G/F# Em Em/D
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
Csus2 D G D
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
G G/F# Em Em/D
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
C Cmaj7 D
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
Em Bm C G
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
Em Bm A
And the flagship founders in the bay
G G/F# Em Em/D
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck
CHORUS:
Csus2 Em
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
G Em
Throw out the lifeline
Csus2 D G D
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
G G/F# Em Em/D
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
Csus2 D G D
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
G G/F# Em Em/D
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
C Cmaj7 D
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
Em Bm C G
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
Em Bm A
From Appomattox all in grey
G G/F# Em Em/D
Won't you take this message to the King for me
CHORUS:
Csus2 Em
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
G Em
Throw out the lifeline
Csus2 D Em Em/D
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
Csus2 Em
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
G Em
Throw out the lifeline
Csus2 D G
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
