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

       Am                F
Up in Memphis, the music's like a heat wave
       C                          G
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
       Am                F
Mama's baby is in the heart of every schoolgirl
       C                       G
Love me tender, leaves 'em crying in the aisle

       Am                F
The way he moved, it was a sin
       C                      G
So sweet and true, I could not help but grin
       Am                F
Black velvet in that little boy's smile
       C                       G
Black velvet in that slow southern style
