He Was the King

Okay, we're gonna start with a, um, start on an F. Just riding on the F. Maybe that's a good way to start. Or maybe the D. What do you think, Ben?

Uh, the F sounds good...

Just like a—

The last time I saw Elvis

He was shootin' at a color TV

The phones were ringing in the pink motel

And the rest is history

He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis

He was singin' a gospel song

You could tell he had the feeling

And the whole world sang along

He was the King (He was the King)

The last time I saw Elvis

He was up on the silver screen

Pushin' a plow in a black and white movie

And everybody started to scream

'Cause he was the King

The last time I saw Elvis

It was some kind of Vegas dream

Spotlights flashed on a silver cape

And a blue-haired lady screamed

He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis

He was frontin' a three-piece band

Rockin' on the back of a flatbed truck

With an old guitar in his hand

He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis, hey

The last time I saw Elvis

He was ridin' in a pink Cadillac

Wind was blowin' through his hair

And he never did look back

He was the King

Thank you very much

The last time I saw Elvis

He was singin' that gospel song

You could tell that he had the feelin'

And the whole world sang along

He was the King (He was the King)

He was the King

He was the King

Elvis has left the arena. But he was rockin' while he was gettin' out of there. Ah man, you put me right out of my seat when you said "Thank you very much." I almost stopped playing. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much.
