Steve Goodman, Elvis Imitators (1981)
^{Key: :[B] (w: Steve Goodman, Mike Smith)}

VERSE 1:
Well, I [B open] walk up to the mike and and then I shake my hips
[B open] I take a deep breath and put a snare on my lips
[B]^[E open] See me on the street you wouldn't know my name
[E]^[B open] But imitating Elvis is my claim to fame
[B]^[F#7 open] So when you put my imitation name in lights
[F#7]^[B open] There'll be imitation good [B] rockin' tonight

CHORUS:
Cuz I'm an an [B] Elvis imitator and I just can't stop
Imitating Elvis from the bottom to the top
[E] Imitate the way he talked, the way he smiled
[B] I throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
This [F#7] imitation Elvis may not be the King
[B] But baby I'm the next best thing

VERSE 3:
[B] Singing Viva Las Vegas and the G.I. Blues
Won't you Love Me Tender in my Blue Suede Shoes
Well [E] let me be your teddy bear, if you must
[B] Oh baby Please Surrender, 'cause I need your touch
Well [F#7] if you feelin' lonely, need a place to dwell
[F#7]^[B open] Come on down to imitation heartbreak hotel
