Black Velvet

Verse 1
BmiMississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
BmiJimmy Rodgers on the victola up high.
BmiMama's dancin' baby on her shoulders,
BmiThe sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
FThe boy could soon know how to Esmove everything;
C#Always wanting more, Ashe'd leave you longing for.

  *Chorus*
  EsmiBlack Velvet in that Aslittle boy's smile.
  EsmiBlack velvet in with that Hslow southern F#style.
  EsmiA new religon that'll Asbring you to your knees,
  F#Black Fvelvet, if you Bmiplease.

Verse 2
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave,
White lightening, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl,
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles.
The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true,
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.


*Chorus*


EsmiEvery word of every Fsong that he sang was for Bmiyou.
EsmiIn a flash he was Hgone, it happened so F#soon.
FWhat could you Bmidooooooooooo-?

*Chorus*
