-7 -7 -7 7 6 6 6 6 6 -5 6 7
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
-7 -7 7 6 -5 6 7 6 -5 -4
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
-7 -7 -7 7 6 6 6 6 6 -5 6 7
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
6 6 7 6 6 -5 6 -5 -5 -5 -4
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
-4 6 -4 <-5 <-5 4 6 6 7 6 -5 -4
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
7 6 7 6 7 -7 -7 7 -7 7 -7
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
8 8 -8 -8 -7 -8 -7 -7 -8
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
8 8 -8 -7 7 -7 -7 7 6
Black velvet with that slow southern style
8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -7 -8 -7 -7 7 -7 -8
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
6 7 6 6 -5 6
Black velvet if you please
Bridge:
-7 7 -7 -7 7 -7 -7 7 -7 -7 -8 7 6
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
-7 7 -7 -7 7 -7 7 -7 7 -7 7 6
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,
-4 6 -4 6
What could you do?
