[Intro]
8 takter x Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high.
Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders,
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
Asus A Gsus G
The boy could soon know how to move everything;
Fsus F Csus C
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
[Chorus]
Gm Csus C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile.
Gm D# A#
Black velvet in with that slow southern style.
Gm C
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,
A# A Dm
Black velvet, if you please.
[Verse 2]
Dm
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave,
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 aisles.
Asus A Gsus G
The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true,

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
[Chorus]
