#the guitar only plays fills and the solo
#They also detuned their instruments to Eb I think

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
"White lightning" bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl
"Love me tender" leaves them cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved it was so, so sweet and true
Always wanting more he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy smile
black velvet and that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
black velvet if you please
Every word and ev'ry song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone it happened so soon
What could you do?
Solo
Black velvet and that little boy smile
black velvet and that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
black velvet if you please
