A little heads-up before we begin:

Every "Em" EXCEPT those in the chorus has a quick, two note pick-up on it:   E--|-3--2--Em...

Ok? Good.


Tuning: Standard

Intro:  G     C     (Play 3 times)

        Em                          F
                I was sitting there watching TV
        Em                     F
                Wendy came and sat on my knee
        D                          C
                She put her finger in my ear
        D                              C
                But I pulled it out so I could hear

	Em                             F
                But the newsman on the television said
        Am                                   G
                He said, "The King of Rock & Roll was dead."
        D                         C
                And in the spooky television light
        Em                               F
                She said, "Don't ever forget this night."

Chorus:
        G                             Em
        I was f***ing Wendy under the stars
            F                    G     C
        The night that Elvis died
        G                             Em
        I was f***ing Wendy under the stars
            F                    G     C     G     C
        The night that Elvis died

        As we walked across the dew wet field
        I never ever thought she would yield
        To my young body's aching desire
        For an older woman's well banked fire

        By the left hand I was led
        To the place that we would make our bed
        And embracing in the blue moonlight
        She said, "Don't ever forget this night."

Chorus

        She was thirty-one, I was seventeen
        I found out then what passion could mean
        I thought I loved her but I didn't know how
        I don't love her when I see her now

        With the tape deck turned up loud
        She made a young man feel strong and proud
        And in the coolness of the morning light
        She said, "Don't ever forget this night."

Chorus

        The night that Elvis died
        The night that Elvis died
