E E/D# C#m C#m/B
Elvis Presley came to me in a dream last night
Asus2 B E B
Like a sleepy golden eagle on the breeze
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
Wearing wings of Spanish leather, he was looking alright
A Amaj7 B
But his rebel heart lay bleeding on his knees
C#m G#m A E
He said, "Sherman's wolves howl 'round the gate
C#m G#m F#
And the sheep have gone astray
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
And Priscilla's flown to Paris, now she's lost to me"
CHORUS:
Asus2 C#m
He said, "Throw out the lifeline
E C#m
Throw out the lifeline
Asus2 B E B
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
Then he took me over cracker malls and chicken shacks
Asus2 B E B
Where the lost souls prowl the lonesome oceanside
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
They were waiting on the shadow of the Merrimack
A Amaj7 B
Floating brave as Davis sabres on the tide
C#m G#m A E
But he said, "Dixie slumbers in the cold, cold ground
C#m G#m F#
And Lincoln moulders in the clay
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
And they've got John Wilkes Booth on the radio
CHORUS:
Asus2 C#m
Singing, "Throw out the lifeline
E C#m
Throw out the lifeline
Asus2 B E B
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
Now the truth is plain and simple, but it flickers on my lips
Asus2 B E B
Like a moonbeam in a blue Kentucky pool
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
'Cause the Union, she's a clever and a worthy ship
A Amaj7 B
But she's prideful, and she will not bear a fool
C#m G#m A E
So the fleet sails blind past Beauregard
C#m G#m F#
And the flagship founders in the bay
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
While the captain paces on the quarterdeck
CHORUS:
Asus2 C#m
Crying, "Throw out the lifeline
E C#m
Throw out the lifeline
Asus2 B E B
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
These blue suede shoes were made for someone else's feet
Asus2 B E B
Me, I grow weary ever walking down that line
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
'Cause I never seem to reach the end of Lonely Street
A Amaj7 B
Even though my heart's been broken for some time
C#m G#m A E
Oh, if you should meet me on the march
C#m G#m F#
From Appomattox all in grey
E E/D# C#m C#m/B
Won't you take this message to the King for me
CHORUS:
Asus2 C#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
E C#m
Throw out the lifeline
Asus2 B C#m C#m/B
'Cause somebody's drifting away"
Asus2 C#m
Tell him, "Throw out the lifeline
E C#m
Throw out the lifeline
Asus2 B E
'Cause somebody's drifting away."
