The Elvis Thing Chords

(ver. 1)
Tractors
(E) In nineteen fifty-six, the United States of America
Dropped a hi-fi needle on rock and (B7) roll
And coast to (E) coast, we started shakin' all (A) over
(E) One  nation, under (B7) God and out of con(E)trol

Chorus:
It's The Elvis  (A) Thing
It cuts right (E) through you
It tangles you up inside, turns your world upside (B7) down
Like a mystery (A) train, screamin' through the (E) night
There ain't nothin' been the same since The (B7) Elvis Thing been a(E)round

I grew up drivin' a tractor and playin' electric guitar
It's a strange road full of detours and twists and (B7) turns
And when I ask my(E)self  why I do what I  (A) do
The (E) answer is simple; there's a  (B7) reason my earthyly heart (E) burns

Chorus

Come on, love me (A) tender
Come on, come on, love me (E) true
Just like The Elvis Thing got a hold on me...
I (F#)wanna get a hold of  (B7) you (A) (E) (B7) (E)

When they write the history books and try to explain
The second half of the twentieth centu(B7)ry
They'll talk about puttin' a man on the (E) moon...
They'll talk about  Viet(A)nam...
They'll talk about (E) Martin Luther King and (B7) John F. Kennedy......
(But you know what they'll really be talkin' about)

Chorus

Like a mystery (A) train, screamin' through the (E) night
There ain't nothin' been the same since
The (B7)Elvis Thing been a(A)round (E)
