C                                        Am                    F                                                 G
I was Barely six years old when I first heard him sing,__ some how I new from that moment on,___
                                                  C                                                                       Am
 It would be a livelong thing.___ and I stand in front of a mirror, day and night; and I listen to
                                                      F                                                  G                           C
Every one of his records, and I would repeat every word, and every note,___ until I finally got it right.
F                                      G                                C
___And I was determined that___ I?d wait for the day that I could stand and sing in front of audience
         Am                                                       F                                             C
And maybe some one would come up to me and say, you know, you sound just like Elvis.



 C                                     Am                        F                                   G
There was a man, who gave the world his song, and the world stood still, to hear him sing,
C                                 Am                F                                   G
A simple man, that took his faith along, well all the world, proclaimed him king,



[Chorus]
                 C                   Am                        F                            G
And now the king is gone and all what a rain, and the crown on his head, will remain,
C                              Am          F                          C
I?m A Working Man, two royalties to ever lasting fame, The King is Gone,
                  G                                C             ?
Yeah The King Is Gone, But long live his name.
