E In nineteen fifty-six, the United States of America 
Dropped a hi-fi needle on rock and B7 roll 
And coast to E coast, we started shakin' all A over 
E One  nation, under B7 God and out of con{E}trol 
 
It's The Elvis  A Thing 
It cuts right E through you 
It tangles you up inside, turns your world upside B7 down 
Like a mystery A train, screamin' through the E night 
There ain't nothin' been the same since The B7 Elvis Thing been a{E}round
 
 
I grew up drivin' a tractor and playin' electric guitar 
It's a strange road full of detours and twists and B7 turns 
And when I ask my{E}self  why I do what I  A do 
The E answer is simple; there's a  B7 reason my earthyly heart E burns 
 
Chorus 
 
Come on, love me A tender 
Come on, come on, love me E true 
Just like The Elvis Thing got a hold on me... 
I F#}wanna get a hold of  B7 you A E B7 E 
 
When they write the history books and try to explain 
The second half of the twentieth centu{B7}ry 
They'll talk about puttin' a man on the E moon... 
They'll talk about  Viet{A}nam... 
They'll talk about E Martin Luther King and B7 John F. Kennedy...... 
(But you know what they'll really be talkin' about) 
 
Chorus 
 
Like a mystery A train, screamin' through the E night 
There ain't nothin' been the same since 
The B7}Elvis Thing been a{A}round E
