Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6[Intro] 8 takter x Dm [Verse 1] Dm Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell; Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high. Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders, The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky. Asus A Gsus G The boy could soon know how to move everything; Fsus F Csus C Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for. [Chorus] Gm Csus C Black Velvet in that little boy's smile. Gm D# A# Black velvet in with that slow southern style. Gm C A new religion that'll bring you to your knees, A# A Dm Black velvet, if you please. [Verse 2] Dm Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave, White lightening, bound to drive you wild. Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl, Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles. Asus A Gsus G The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true, Fsus F Csus C Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for. [Chorus] Gm Csus C Black Velvet in that little boy's smile. Gm D# A# Black velvet in with that slow southern style. Gm C A new religion that'll bring you to your knees, A# A Dm Black velvet, if you please. [Bridge] Gm A Dm7 Every word of every song that he sang was for you. Gm D# A# In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon. (Break 2 takter!) A Dm What could you dooooooooooo-? [Solo] 8 TAKTER Dm [Chorus] (x2) Gm Csus C Black Velvet in that little boy's smile. Gm D# A# Black velvet in with that slow southern style. Gm C A new religion that'll bring you to your knees, A# A Dm Black velvet, if you please. [Outro] 8 takter Dm
