Elvis Presley, Burning Love (1972)
Key: :[B] (w: Dennis Linde) (Arthur Alexander, 1971)
VERSE 1:
[B](*1*) Lord Almighty,
[E](*0.5*) I feel my
[F#](*0.5*) temperature
[B](*2*) rising
[B](*1*) Higher, higher,
[E](*0.5*) it's burning
[F#](*0.5*) through to my
[B](*2*) soul
[B](*1*) Girl, girl, girl,
[E](*0.5*) you've gone and
[F#](*0.5*) set me on
[B](*2*) fire
[B](*1*) My brain is flaming;
[E](*0.5*) I don't know
[F#](*0.5*) which way to
[B](*2*) go
CHORUS:
Your
[G#m](*0.5*) kisses
[F#](*0.5*) lift me
[E](*1*) higher
Like the
[G#m](*0.5*) sweet song
[F#](*0.5*) of a
[E](*1*) choir
You
[G#m](*0.5*) light my
[F#](*0.5*) morning
[E](*1*) sky
With burning
[B](*2*) love
VERSE 2:
[B](*1*) Ooh, ooh, ooh, I
[E](*0.5*) feel my
[F#](*0.5*) temperature
[B](*2*) rising
[B](*1*) Help me, I'm flaming, It
[E](*0.5*) must be a
[F#](*0.5*) hundred and
[B](*2*) nine
[B](*1*) Burning, burning, burning,
[E](*0.5*) and
[F#](*0.5*) nothing can
[B](*2*) cool me
[B](*1*) I just might turn to
[E](*0.5*) Smoke, but
[F#](*0.5*) I feel
[B](*2*) fine
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK: [over CHORUS]
VERSE 3:
[B](*1*) It's coming closer; the
[E](*0.5*) flames are now
[F#](*0.5*) licking my
[B](*2*) body
[B](*1*) Won't you help me, I
[E](*0.5*) feel like I'm
[F#](*0.5*) slipping a-
[B(*2*)]-way
[B](*1*) It's hard to breathe,
[E](*0.5*) my
[F#](*0.5*) chest is a heav-
[B](*2*)-ing
[B](*1*) Lord have mercy, I'm
[E](*0.5*) burning a
[F#](*0.5*) hole where I
[B](*2*) lay
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO:
I'm just a
[B](*1*) hunk-a hunk-a of burning
[E](*1*) love
