          B7  
Calling elvis - is anybody home 
Calling elvis - I'm here all alone 
Did he leave the building 
Or can he come to the phone 
Calling elvis - I'm here all alone 
                    E7 
Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well 
Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel 
Oh love me tender - baby dob't be cruel 
                                   F#7 
Return to sender - treat me like a fool

Or can he come to the phone 
Calling elvis - I'm here all alone 
                 B7 
Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan 
You gotta tell him - he's still the man 
Long distance baby - So far from home 
Don't you think maybe - you could put him on 
                    E7 
Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well 
Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel 
Oh love me tender - baby dob't be cruel
