Elvis Has Just Left The Building

Frank Zappa

Elvis has just *left the building - Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building - To climb up that heavenly stair % He gave away Cadillacs once in a while, Had sex in his underpants, Yes, he had style! Bell-bottom jump suits? That's them in a pile, But he don't need 'em now, 'Cause he's makin' Jesus smile! Elvis has just *left the building - Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building - To climb up that heavenly stair % The Angels all love him, He brings them relief With droplets of moisture from his handkerchief! Cher'bim 'n ser'phim whizz over his head - Jesus, let him come back! We don't want Elvis dead! Elvis has just *left the building - Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building - To climb up that heavenly stair % So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat? He knows we all love him - We'll just watch him eat, So take down the foil from his hotel retreat, And bring back The King for the man in the street! Elvis has just *left the building - Those are his footprints, right there Elvis has just left the building - He's up there with Jesus, in a big pur ple chair The interpretation of the last line is my own but may be close to reality! The * indicates where you can do the "hippie" lick, i.e. by fingering a regular old first position chord then momentarily dropping your pinky down on the 3rd fret E string. % indicates a good place to put in a little bass run (eighth notes): Low E 3rd fret Low A open Low A 2nd fret Low A open Low E 3rd fret then hit the Em chord on the down beat Copyright Frank Zappa, Zappa Family Trust, etc.
