[Verse]
B
out there where the air is clean
B
the red woods high, and the grass is green
E
people tell me they have seen
B
a giant footprint
B
is he fishing and skiing and hunting duck
B
with a guitar, shotgun, and a pick-up truck?
E
well, with any kind of luck
B
we'll photograph him
[Chorus]
F# E B
oh, oh, come again outdoor elvis
F# E B
be our friend, save us outdoor elvis
[Verse 2]
B
the world has hope 'cause he's feelin' good
B
escaped the city, lives in the woods
E
this is the spot i think he stood
B
here's a giant footprint
B
a plaster cast where the pilgrims flock
B
and ticket lines around the block
E
if we don't have the king what have we got?
B
life don't make no sense
[Chorus]
F# E B
oh, oh, come again outdoor elvis
F# E B
be our friend, save us outdoor elvis
F# E B
we have sinned, forgive us outdoor elvis
[Bridge]
Em B
we'll build a shrine among the pines to you
Ebm B
we might have to set a trap to bring him back
Ebm
dead or alive, if we want to survive
Em B Em B
we gotta' bring him back (bring him back)
Em B
oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
B
in his fishin' vest and his silver cape
B
i'll bet he's really looking great
E
you can pretty much tell that he's lost weight
B
from the depth of his footprint
B
it's said he croons when the moon's above
B
singing tenderly, "hunk a burnin' love"
E
it's nice to know he's still got his stuff hasn't
B
lost the accent
[Chorus]
F# E B
oh, oh, come again outdoor elvis
F# E B
be our friend, save us outdoor elvis
F# E B
we have sinned, forgive us outdoor elvis
[Bridge]
Em Em B
we'll build a shrine among the pines to you
Em Em B
('till the end of time we'll stand in this line for you)
Em Em B
o.e. o.e. we look for a sign from you
[Outro]
B
we might have to set a trap
B
dead or alive, we'll bring him back
