E In nineteen fifty-six, the United States of America
Dropped a hi-fi needle on rock and B7 roll
And coast to E coast, we started shakin' all A over
E One nation, under B7 God and out of con{E}trol
It's The Elvis A Thing
It cuts right E through you
It tangles you up inside, turns your world upside B7 down
Like a mystery A train, screamin' through the E night
There ain't nothin' been the same since The B7 Elvis Thing been a{E}round
I grew up drivin' a tractor and playin' electric guitar
It's a strange road full of detours and twists and B7 turns
And when I ask my{E}self why I do what I A do
The E answer is simple; there's a B7 reason my earthyly heart E burns
Chorus
Come on, love me A tender
Come on, come on, love me E true
Just like The Elvis Thing got a hold on me...
I F#}wanna get a hold of B7 you A E B7 E
When they write the history books and try to explain
The second half of the twentieth centu{B7}ry
They'll talk about puttin' a man on the E moon...
They'll talk about Viet{A}nam...
They'll talk about E Martin Luther King and B7 John F. Kennedy......
(But you know what they'll really be talkin' about)
Chorus
Like a mystery A train, screamin' through the E night
There ain't nothin' been the same since
The B7}Elvis Thing been a{A}round E
