[DROP D - Riff to start and bass - BPM 91 - use fat bottomed girls riff] (slide up 3rd finger to 7th fret on G so playing descending easier) (riff starts half bar ahead of drums coming in - you can play riff during drums as well - just slide up playing a diad - then lift off G string to play notes just on D)

[A] The boy could sing, knew how to [G] move, everything; [F - 333xxx] Always wanting more, [C] he'd leave you longing for.
[Chorus] [Gm - 555333] Black velvet in that [C] little boy's smile. [Gm] Black velvet in with that [Eb] slow southern [Bb] style. [Gm] A new religion that'll [C] bring you to your knees, [Bb] Black vel [A] vet, if you [Dm] please.
[Verse 2] [Dm] Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave, [Dm] White lightnin', bound to drive you wild. [Dm] Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl, [Dm] Love me tender, leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles. [A] The way he moved it was a [G] sin so sweet and true, [F] Always wanting more, [C] he'd leave you longing for.
[Chorus] [Gm] Black velvet in that [C] little boy's smile. [Gm] Black velvet in with that [Eb] slow southern [Bb] style. [Gm] A new religion that'll [C] bring you to your knees, [Bb] Black vel [A] vet, if you [Dm] please.

(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) [Ab7]nothing's going to change the [Dbmaj9]way we live Cos' [Gbmaj7] we can always take but [Cm7b5] never give An [Cm7b5] now that things're changing [Bb7#5] for the worse, see
[Ebm7] Woah, [Ab7] It's a crazy [Dbmaj9] world we're living in [Gbmaj7] And I just can't [Cm7b5] see that Half of [Bmaj7] us immersed in [Bb7#5-6x677x] sin is (odd extra bars/chords?) all we [Bb7] have to [Dm7b5-x5656x??] give these
