E9
A deep thick plush blue carpet at my feet
A peacock stained glass window staring back at me
D9 E9
A nine foot crushed white velvet sofa in the hallway
E9
There's a TV in the kitchen
She's cooking in her panties
Flippin' them little sandwiches likes she's flippin' her hair
D9 E9
Sure is nice to have someone to hold me
Chorus:
G
I'm the king of kings you see
A7
Everything you need
E9
Baby, I'm Elvis
baby, baby, I'm Elvis
baby, baby, I'm Elvis
(Ray Benson)
E9
I got a hundred golden records in this one room
I got fifty golden knobs upon my doors
D9 E9
I got one black twenty-five foot stretch Cadillac to drive you home
To drive you home
(Pat)
E9
Downstairs there's a room in the basement
It's mostly made of yellow and black
D9
Some folks call it the jungle
E9
I just think it's a nice place to relax
Chorus:
G
I'm the king of kings you see
A7
Everything you need
E9
Baby, I'm Elvis
baby, baby, I'm Elvis
baby, baby, I'm Elvis
Instrumental :
G A7 E9 x2
(Willie)
E9
Once a year they all come to see me
I watch them throwing flowers at my toes
D9
There's a line that stretches down the driveway
E9
Past my plane, ends at the gift shop
Chorus:
G
I'm the king of kings you see
A7
Everything you need
E9
Baby, I'm Elvis
G
I'm the king of kings you see
A7
Everything you need
E9
Baby, I'm Elvis
baby, baby, I'm Elvis
baby, baby, I'm Elvis
G A7 E9 x2
