I know why you cried the day Elvis died
D7 G7
When Hank was called away I cried all that day
C F C
Everybody needs a rainbow that they can look up to
G7 C
What Hank meant to me Elvis meant to you
F C
So let your tears run down don't you run and hide
G7 C
I know why you cried the day Elvis died
F C
Well all of my life I've heard the Lovesick Blues
D7 G7
And all of your life you were raised on Blue Suede Shoes
C F C
The King of Country Music and the King of Rock and Roll
G7 C
Their songs warmed our hearts their music touched our souls
F C
So let your tears run down and don't you run and hide
G7 C
I know why you cried the day Elvis died
G7 C
I know why you cried the day Elvis died
