Black Velvet by Alannah Myles

 [Intro]
8 takter x Dm  
   
[Verse 1]
Dm
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high.
Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders,
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
Asus           A               Gsus      G
The boy could soon know how to move everything;
Fsus    F            Csus            C
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

[Chorus]
Gm                     Csus        C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile.
Gm                         D#   A#
Black velvet in with that slow southern style.
Gm                      C
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
A#      A              Dm
Black velvet, if you please.

[Verse 2]
Dm
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave,
White lightening, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl,
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles.
Asus        A             Gsus     G
The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true,
Fsus    F            Csus            C 
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

[Chorus]
Gm                     Csus        C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile.
Gm                         D#   A#
Black velvet in with that slow southern style.
Gm                      C
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
A#      A              Dm
Black velvet, if you please.

[Bridge]
Gm                   A                        Dm7
Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
Gm                 D#                   A#
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon. (Break 2 takter!)
A               Dm
What could you dooooooooooo-?

[Solo] 
8 TAKTER Dm

[Chorus] (x2)
Gm                     Csus        C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile.
Gm                         D#   A#
Black velvet in with that slow southern style.
Gm                      C
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
A#      A              Dm
Black velvet, if you please.

[Outro]
