Boxcar Willie - The Day Elvis Died Chords

C                        F         C
I know why you cried the day Elvis died

                          D7               G7
When Hank was called away I cried all that day

     C                         F                C
Everybody needs a rainbow that they can look up to

                      G7             C
What Hank meant to me Elvis meant to you

                           F                 C
So let your tears run down don't you run and hide


                     G7            C
I know why you cried the day Elvis died



                         F                  C
Well all of my life I've heard the Lovesick Blues

                              D7                   G7
And all of your life you were raised on Blue Suede Shoes

    C                             F                C
The King of Country Music and the King of Rock and Roll

                                    G7                C
Their songs warmed our hearts their music touched our souls

                               F                 C
So let your tears run down and don't you run and hide

                     G7            C
I know why you cried the day Elvis died



                     G7            C
I know why you cried the day Elvis died
