Elvis On Velvet
key=C bpm=260
It came out of the mountains and it came right from the heart
They called it Bluegrass Music and we played it from the start
Blue Moon of Kentucky, Bill and Elvis had a smash
We had Elvis on velvet, Monroe on Grass
[Elvis samg the gospel songs, and we could sing them too]
[thats all we had in common for about a year or two ]
[Rock and Roll took over, we just hung on to the past ]
[We had Elvis on velvet, Monroe on grass ]
The amplified the guitars and brought in a set of drums
it got so loud you couldn't hear a picker pick and strum
We just hung on to our music, but we shore ran short on cash
We had Elvis on velvet, Monroe on Grass
[chorus]
Bill and Elvis both are gone and in the Hall of Fame
we just keep on playing Bluegrass, I don't guess we'll ever change
There was a time we really thought the music wouldn't last
We had Elvis on velvet, Monroe on Grass
[chorus]
