Elvis Has Just Left The Building Frank Zappa
[D] Elvis has just *left the [Em] building -
[C] Those are his footprints, right [D] there
[D] Elvis has just left the [Em] building -
To [F] climb up that[Am] heavenly[G] stair %
He gave away [Em] Cadillacs [D] once in a while,
Had [F] sex in his[Am] underpants, [G] Yes, he had style!
[Em] Bell-bottom jump suits? That's [D] them in a pile,
But he [F] don't need 'em[Am] now, 'Cause he's [G] makin' Jesus smile!
[D] Elvis has just *left the [Em] building -
[C] Those are his footprints, right [D] there
[D] Elvis has just left the [Em] building -
To [F] climb up that [Am] heavenly [G] stair %
The [Em] Angels all love him, He [D] brings them relief
With [F] droplets of[Am] moisture from [G] his handkerchief!
[Em] Cher'bim 'n ser'phim whizz [D] over his head -
Jesus, [F] let him come[Am] back! We don't [G] want Elvis dead!
[D] Elvis has just *left the [Em] building -
[C] Those are his footprints, right [D] there
[D] Elvis has just left the [Em] building -
To [F] climb up that[Am] heavenly [G] stair %
So [Em] what if he looks like a [D] wart-hog in heat?
He [F] knows we all [Am] love him - We'll [G] just watch him eat,
So [Em] take down the foil from his [D] hotel retreat,
And [F] bring back The[Am] King for the [G] man in the street!
[D] Elvis has just *left the [Em] building -
[C] Those are his footprints, right [D] there
[D] Elvis has just left the [Em] building -
He's [F] up there with [Am] Jesus, in a [G] big [D] pur [A] ple [D]
chair
The interpretation of the last line is my own but may be close to
reality!
The * indicates where you can do the "hippie" lick, i.e. by fingering
a regular old first position D chord then momentarily dropping your
pinky down on the 3rd fret E string.
% indicates a good place to put in a little bass run (eighth notes):
Low E 3rd fret
Low A open
Low A 2nd fret
Low A open
Low E 3rd fret
then hit the Em chord on the down beat
