    F	            C
The last time I saw Elvis
       F                    C
He was shootin' at a color TV
    F                          C
The phones were ringin' in the Pink Motel
        G       F
And the rest is history
           C    
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
       F                C
He was singin' a gospel song
          F               C
You could tell he had the feelin'
        G                 F
And the whole world sang along
           C
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
       F                C
He was up on the silver screen
F                   C
Pushin' a plow in a black and white movie
    G                    F
And everybody started to scream
           C
He was the King

    Bb              C
The last time I saw Elvis
       Bb                 C
It was some kind of Vegas dream
Bb                      C
Spotlights flashed on a silver cape
      Bb               C
And a blue haired lady screamed
           D      
He was the King

    F               C
The last time I saw Elvis
       F                      C
He was frontin' a three piece band
F                        C
Rockin' on the back of a flatbed truck
        G                 F
With an old guitar in his hand
           C
He was the King

    F               C
The last time I saw Elvis
       F                     C
He was ridin' in a pink Cadillac
F                C
Wind was blowin' through his hair
       G              F
And he never did look back
           C
He was the King
