BLACK VELVET - ALANNAH MYLES

Intro Em (with blues fills)

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jamie Rogers on electro up high
Mamas dancing - baby on her shoulder
The sun is setting like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing and knew how to move - everything
Always wanting more - it leaves you longing for

[Chorus] Black Velvet in that little boy's smile
Black Velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black Velvet - if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

  [Bridge Em Em] Every word of every song that he sang is for you
In a flash he was gone - it happened so soon
what could you do?
