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