Lyrics

[Intro]
Ebm
Mmm
Mmm Mmm

[Verse 1]
Ebm
   Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus4
      The boy could sing,
Bb            Absus4 Ab
  knew how to move,    everything
Gbsus4       Gb
      Always wanting more,
Dbsus2
      he'd leave you longing for

[Chorus]
Abm                      Dbsus4            Db
   Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Abm                       E             B
   Black velvet with that slow southern style
Abm                        Dbsus4           Db
   A new religion that 'll bring ya to your knees
B7         Bb7        Ebm
  Black velvet if you please

[Verse 2]
Ebm
   Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbsus4             Bb
      The way he moved,
         Absus4   Ab            Gbsus4
it was a sin,  so sweet and true
       Gb
Always wanting more,
Dbsus2
      he'd leave you longing for

[Chorus]
Abm                      Dbsus4            Db
   Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Abm                       E             B
   Black velvet with that slow southern style
Abm                        Dbsus4           Db
   A new religion that 'll bring ya to your knees
B7         Bb7        Ebm
  Black velvet if you please

[Bridge]
Abm                        Bb7
   Every word of every song   that he sang was for
   Ebm7
you    hoo Oo hoo hoo
Abm                       Eadd9              Bsus2
   In a flash he was gone,     it happened so     soon,
Bb
  what could
You do?
