Elvis Presley - King Creole guitar chord

King Creole - Elvis Presley

Written by: Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller

**Capo 1**

Verse 1: (all A)

There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll

He's a guitar man with a great big soul

He lays down a beat like a ton of coal

He goes by the name of King Creole

Chorus:

D

You know he's gone, gone, gone

A

Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole

E7

You know he's gone, gone, gone

D A

Hip shaking King Creole

Verse 2: (all A)

When the king starts to do it it's as good as done

He holds his guitar like a tommy gun

He starts to growl from way down his throat

He bends a string and that's all she wrote

CHORUS

Verse 3: (all A)

Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole

He sings a song about a jelly roll

He sings a song about a pork and greens

He sings some blues about New Orleans

CHORUS

Instrumental: A D A E7 D A

Verse 4: (all A)

Well he plays something evil then he plays something sweet

No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet

When he gets the rockin' fever baby heaven sakes

He don't stop playin' til his guitar breaks

CHORUS

E7

You know he's gone, gone, gone

D A

Hip shaking King Creole
