Black Velvet Alannah Myles
Notes: The recording is tuned A half-step flat (Eb Ab C# F# Bb Eb)
but I am writing this as if in standard tuning.
It doesn't sound good in standard tuning to me though.
Please correct the chords if you hear more precise alternates.
Intro: (whispering unintelligible phrase "..? you enjoy yourself all day..?")
E (with blues fills)
Mmmmm mmmm oooooo (ad lib)
[E]Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jamie Rogers on electro up high
Mamas dancing - baby on her shoulder
The sun is setting like molasses in the sky
The [B]boy could sing and knew how to m[A]ove - everything
[G]Always wanting more [D]- it leaves you longing for
Chorus: [A]Black Velvet in that l[D]ittle boy's smile
A G Bm (or D/F# maybe?)
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
[A]A new religion that'll [D]bring you to your knees
C7 B7 (no chord) E
Black Velvet - if you please
Up in Memphis the music is like a heat wave
White Lightnin' - bound to drive you wild
Mamas baby is in the heart of every school girl
Love me Tender leaves em cryin' in the isles
The way he moved it was a sin - so sweet and true
Always wanting more it leaves you longing for
-CHORUS-
[A]Every word of every [B]song that he sang is for y[E]ou
A G C7 B7 (no chord) E
In a flash he was gone - it happened so soon - what could you do?
-solo-
-CHORUS- 2x
fade out on E with blues fills ( vocals repeat "if you please")
