Alannah Myles - Black Velvet

Intro

Dm (8x)

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 doooooooooo?
