Alannah Myles, Black Velvet (1990)
^{Key: :[Dm] (w: David Tyson, Christopher Ward)}

VERSE 1:
[Dm] Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high
Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
[A7] The boy could soon know how to [G] move everything
[F] Always wanting more, [C] he'd leave you longing for

CHORUS:
[Gm] Black Velvet in that [C] little boy's smile
[Gm] Black velvet in with that [D#] slow [A#] southern style
[Gm] A new religon that'll [C] bring you to your knees
[A#7] Black [A7] velvet, if you [Dm] please

VERSE 2:
[Dm] Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every schoolgirl
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles
[A7] The way he moved it was a [G] sin so sweet and true
[F] Always wanting more, [C] he'd leave you longing for

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[Gm] Every word of every [A7] song that he sang was for [Dm] you
[Gm] In a flash he was [D#] gone, it happened so [A#] soon
[A7] What could you [Dm] do?

INSTRUMENTAL: [Dm]

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
