The Day Elvis Died Chords & Lyrics - Boxcar Willie

[C]I know why you cried the [F]day Elvis [C]died

When Hank was called away [D7]I cried all that [G7]day

Every[C]body needs a rainbow that [F]they can look up [C]to

What Hank meant to me [G7]Elvis meant to [C]you

So let your tears run down [F]don't you run and [C]hide


I know why you cried [G7]the day Elvis [C]died


Well all of my life I've [F]heard the Lovesick [C]Blues

And all of your life you were [D7]raised on Blue Suede [G7]Shoes

The [C]King of Country Music and the [F]King of Rock and [C]Roll

Their songs warmed our hearts their [G7]music touched our [C]souls

So let your tears run down and [F]don't you run and [C]hide

I know why you cried [G7]the day Elvis [C]died

I know why you cried [G7]the day Elvis [C]died
