Intro
Dm (8x)
Verse 1
Dm Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell; Dm Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high. Dm Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders, Dm The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky. A G The boy could soon know how to move everything; F C Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
Chorus
Gm C Black Velvet in that little boy's smile. Gm Eb Bb Black velvet in with that slow southern style. Gm C A new religion that'll bring you to your knees, Bb A Dm Black velvet, if you please.
Verse 2
Dm Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave, Dm White lightnin', bound to drive you wild. Dm Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl, Dm Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles. A G The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true, F C Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
Chorus
Gm C Black Velvet in that little boy's smile. Gm Eb Bb Black velvet in with that slow southern style. Gm C A new religion that'll bring you to your knees, Bb A Dm Black velvet, if you please.
Bridge
Gm A Dm Every word of every song that he sang was for you. Gm Eb Bb In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon. A Dm What could you dooooooooooo?
Solo

Notes
- The song is actually quite ingenious, which gave cause to several different transcriptions. I'm following Ultimate Guitar's Version 2
- The original song us performed with a drop D-tuning:
D A D G B E
, so unless you change your tuning, it won't be really possible to play along with the recording - With a standard tuning, the key of D is pretty close.
- This song sounds a lot better using barred chords, so that you can use the low e-string for strumming:
