Alannah Myles - Black Velvet

Notes: The recording is tuned a half-step flat (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

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
B A
The boy could sing and knew how to move - everything
G D
Always wanting more - it leaves you longing for


A D
Chorus: Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
A G Bm (or D/F# maybe?)
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
A D 
A new religion that'll 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 B E
Every word of every song that he sang is for you
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")
