F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
Bsus2 C# F# C#
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
B Bmaj7 C#
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
D#m A#m B F#
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
D#m A#m G#
And the sheep have gone astray
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"
CHORUS:
Bsus2 D#m
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
F# D#m
Throw out the lifeline
Bsus2 C# F# C#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
Bsus2 C# F# C#
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
B Bmaj7 C#
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
D#m A#m B F#
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
D#m A#m G#
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio
CHORUS:
Bsus2 D#m
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
F# D#m
Throw out the lifeline
Bsus2 C# F# C#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
Bsus2 C# F# C#
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
B Bmaj7 C#
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
D#m A#m B F#
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
D#m A#m G#
And the flagship founders in the bay
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck
CHORUS:
Bsus2 D#m
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
F# D#m
Throw out the lifeline
Bsus2 C# F# C#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
Bsus2 C# F# C#
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
B Bmaj7 C#
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
D#m A#m B F#
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
D#m A#m G#
From Appomattox all in grey
F# F#/F D#m D#m/C#
Won't you take this message to the King for me
CHORUS:
Bsus2 D#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
F# D#m
Throw out the lifeline
Bsus2 C# D#m D#m/C#
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
Bsus2 D#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
F# D#m
Throw out the lifeline
Bsus2 C# F#
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
