Version 1
The King is Gone
[Verse]
G
Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
D
That looks like Elvis
C D7 G
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar
I cleared us off a place on that one little table
D
that you left us
C D7 G
And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor
[Chorus]
C Am
I pulled the head off Elvis
C Am
Filled Fred up to his pelvis
G C G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
D G
And so are you
[Verse]
C D7
'Round about 10 we all got to talking
C D7
'Bout Graceland, Bedrock and such
C D7
The conversation finally turned to women
C D7
But they said they didn't get around too much
C D7
Elvis said, "Find 'em young"
G C
And Fred said "Old Fashioned girls are fun"
[Chorus]
G C G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
D G
And so are you
[Verse]
C D7
Later on it finally hit me
C D7
That you wouldn't be 'a comin' home no more
C D7
'Cause this time I know you won't forgive me
C D7
Like all of them other times before
C D7
Then I broke Elvis' nose
G C
Pouring the last drop from his toes
[Chorus]
G C G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
D G
And so are you
C G C G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
D G
And so are you
[Outro]
G
Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
D
That looks like Elvis
C D7 G
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar...
