Black Velvet (chrom) (Alannah Myles)

-7  -7  -7  7  6  6  6  6  6  -5   6   7 
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
-7  -7   7  6  -5  6   7   6  -5   -4 
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
-7   -7  -7   7  6  6  6  6  6  -5   6    7  
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
6   6   7   6   6    -5    6    -5    -5   -5  -4
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
7   6   7   6   7   -7   -7    7  -7   7  -7
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

  
8  8   -8   -8   -7   -8   -7   -7   -8  
Black velvet and that little boy's smile 
8   8   -8   -7   7   -7   -7   7    6   
Black velvet with that slow southern style 
8   8   8   8    -8   -8   -7  -8   -7    -7   7   -7   -8
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees 
6   7  6    6   -5   6  
Black velvet if you please

Every word of every song that he sang was for you 
-7   7   -7   -7   7   -7    7    -7   7   -7   7   6
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,
-4   6   -4    6   
What could you do?
