From the Sun yea[G]rs of the Fifties and the [Am]birth of rock an[C]d roll[G]
[D7]Millions screamed to see him do his [G]thing
Elvis touched the [Am]life of [C]every ear that [G]heard him
And they couldn't help but [D7]listen when he [G]sang
It's a [C]long way from Memphis to that [G]mansion in the sky
But he [D7]kept his faith in Jesus all a[G]long
It's a [C]long way from Graceland across [G]Jordan to the [C]Promised Land
But [G]Jesus finally [D7]came to lead him [G]home
From the days of Love Me [Am]Tender to his [C]momma's last fare[G]well
[D7]Some say he knew how long he had to [G]stay
His life was two days [Am]longer than the [C]one who gave him [G]life
And he almost knew the [D7]number of the [G]days
[D7]Millions screamed to see him do his [G]thing
Elvis touched the [Am]life of [C]every ear that [G]heard him
And they couldn't help but [D7]listen when he [G]sang
It's a [C]long way from Memphis to that [G]mansion in the sky
But he [D7]kept his faith in Jesus all a[G]long
It's a [C]long way from Graceland across [G]Jordan to the [C]Promised Land
But [G]Jesus finally [D7]came to lead him [G]home
From the days of Love Me [Am]Tender to his [C]momma's last fare[G]well
[D7]Some say he knew how long he had to [G]stay
His life was two days [Am]longer than the [C]one who gave him [G]life
And he almost knew the [D7]number of the [G]days
