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 sing, knew how to move, everything; F C Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for. 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. 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. 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. 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? Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Gm C Black velvet in that little boy's smile. Gm Eb Bb Black velvet in with that slow southern style.
