02-ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT – Do M
Elvis Presley
Are you lonesome tonight?
do you miss me tonight?
are you sorry we drifted apart?
does your memory stray
to a bright sunny day?
when i kissed you and called you sweetheart?
do the chairs in your parlor
seem empty and bare?
do you gaze at your doorstep
and picture me there?
is your heart filled with pain,
tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Spoken
<<i wonder if you're lonesome tonight
you know someone said that the world's a stage
and each must play a part.
fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart.
act one was when we met
i loved you at first glance
you read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue
and then came act two
you seemed to change, you acted strange
and why i'll never know
honey, you lied when you said you love me
and i had no cause to doubt you.
but i'd rather go on hearing your lies
than to go on living without you.
now the stage is bare
and i'm standing there
with emptiness all around
and if you won't come back to me
then they can bring the curtain down>>
Is your heart filled with pain,
tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

11-IN THE GHETTO – C1 La M
Elvis Presley
As the snow flies
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
a poor little baby child is born
in the ghetto
and his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
in the ghetto
people, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way
well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
in the ghetto
and his hunger burns
so he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
in the ghetto
then one night in desperation
a young man breaks away
he buys a gun, steals a car,
tries to run, but he don't get far
and his mama cries
as a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
in the ghetto
as her young man dies,
on a cold and gray chicago mornin',
another little baby child is born
in the ghetto
12-JOHNY B. GOODE – La M
Elvis Presley
Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
There stood a log cabin made of earth an' wood,
Where lived a country boy, named, Johnny B. Goode,
Who never, ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell.
Go-go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, Johnny B. Goode.
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack.
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineer would see him sittin' in the shade,
Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.
The people passin' by, they would stop an' say,
"Oh, my, but that little country boy could play."
Go-go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, Johnny B. Goode.
[Instrumental break]
His mother told him, "Someday you will be a man,
An' you would be the leader of a big ol' band.
Many people comin' from miles around,
To hear you play your music when the sun go' down.
Maybe someday your name will be in lights.
Sayin', 'Johnny B. Goode tonight.'"
Go-go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, go, go, Johnny, go.
Go, Johnny B. Goode.
13-KING CREOLE – C1 La M
Elvis Presley
There's a man in New Orleans
who plays rock and roll
he's a guitar man
with a great big soul
he lays down a beat
like a ton of coal
he goes by the name
of king creole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
you know he's gone, gone, gone
hip shaking king creole
When the king starts to do it
it's as good as done
he holds his guitar
like a Tommy gun
he starts to growl
from way down his throat
he bends a string
and "that's all she wrote"
gone, gone, gone
jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
you know he's gone, gone, gone
hip shaking king creole
Well, he sings a song about a crowded hole
he sings a song about a jelly roll
he sings a song about meat and greens
he wails some blues
about New Orleans
gone, gone, gone
jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
you know he's gone, gone, gone
hip shaking king creole
Well, he plays something evil
then he plays something sweet
no matter what he plays
you got to get up on your feet
When he gets the rockin' fever
baby, heaven sakes
he don't stop playin'
'till his guitar breaks

As I live from day to day
I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find

For you were my thrill
