[Verse]
Em
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Em
Jimmy Rodgers on the victrola up high
Em
Mama's dancing', baby on her shoulders
Em
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, know how to move, everything
G
Always wanting more
D
He'd leave you longing for

Am                                  D
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
Am                                   F            C
Black velvet in with that slow southern style
Am                                     D
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
C         B                   Em
Black velvet, if you please

[Verse 2]
Em
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
Em
White lightnin’, bound to drive you wild
Em
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
Em
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles
B                                        A
The way he moved, it was a sin so sweet and true

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
Am                          F                            C     B
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon
            Em
What could you do

Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
Am                                     F               C
Black velvet in with that slow southern style

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees

Black velvet in with that slow southern style
Am                              D
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
C        B       Em
Black velvet, if you please
