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