A Century of Elvis chords by 
Belle And Sebastian
N/A•
Verse 1
D
We were sitting in the living
A
room on the sofa
The wrong way round,
D
G
looking out the window.
D
It was quiet, and then in the car park
G
D
across the road we saw Elvis
"Look, there,
A
beside the postman's van"
And he was walking round the
D
postman's van,
Verse 2
A
D
Looking in the open door.
G
He looked as if he was
thinking about getting in,
D
But then the postman came back,
G
And he swaggered off,
D
walked past the window
A
And down the stairs,
And then at the bottom of the stairs
right by the caretaker's office,
He started licking the pavement.
D
Verse 3
Every night now since we moved
G
into that new house
D
There's this noise outside the door
G
D
At just about half seven or eight
o'clock every night.
A
And if we go and look outside the door,
Verse 4
D
Elvis'll be standing there
A
G
waiting to be let in.
And then he wanders into
D
the living room
G
Maybe sits down on one of the chairs
D
or even lies down on the floor.
A
He doesn't say much,
he just stays there for an hour or two,
Verse 5
Bm
Watching the TV.
B
Bm
We talk to him a bit, and then around
G
ten o'clock he'll go away again,
D
A
And not come back until the next night.
Bm
There's a lot of lanes and stuff around here,
G
around the house.
Verse 6
G
Although it's right in the middle of
the city it seems quite like the country,
D
It's dead hidden, safe I suppose,
A
Made for night living.
There's a lot of squirrels and birds,
Verse 7
A
And Stuart says he's seen
about nine foxes there
G
When he's jumping over the fence
on his way to Prior's road.
D
Sometimes you can go out walking,
And when you've been
Verse 8
out for a wee while
A
Even you don't know
where you are anymore,
So it would be pretty hard
for anyone else to find you.
G
I suppose that's why he spends
so much here,
Verse 9
That's why he's come to live here,
D
Or maybe it's just the squirrels.
I read about somewhere that he likes
squirrels quite a lot.
Verse 10
A
There's these two videos that
we got for wedding presents
G
Called the E-files, the the E-files
D
one one and E-files two,
G
two,
About how Elvis is sup
D
A
posed to be still alive.
And one time when he came round we
Verse 11
were watching one of those,
D
But he didn't say anything,
he just sat on the armchair.
A
G
He was playing with his collar a bit,
D
And we watched it all through,
G
And then when it finished
he just got up
D
And walked off into the mist and
didn't say anything.
A
Verse 12
Bm
The first few times he came round
I didn't speak to him at all.
G
I wasn't really sure what to say.
And Karen spoke to him
D
quite a lot -
She seemed to know what
to do more than I do.
Verse 13
A
He had quite a strange manner,
He'd just go into your stuff
Bm
and look through it,
Then he'd maybe pick something up
G
and play with it for a wee while,
But he'd never make any
Verse 14
comment about any of it.
D
Seemed pretty rude to me.
G
I just watched whatever Karen did,
And listened to how she talked to him,
D
And then after a while I
started to copy that
Verse 15
G
And tell him a few things,
Not really bothered about whether he
D
responded or said anything back or not.
Verse 16
G
I think the first time I spoke to him
we were sitting up on the mezzanine
D
And I said that I would tell
him about me and wee Karen,
G
And how it was that we'd come
to be living here.
D
I thought he probably liked the fact
that we were living here
Verse 17
D
Because he came round so much,
G
So I thought he might want to know how
Verse 18
it was that it came about.
D
We did it all over backwards, I told him.
G
First of all we got to know each other,
And then a while after that we met,
D
And when we'd known each
other for about seven years
Verse 19
G
We decided to have an anniversary,
D
and that went quite well,
So after the anniversary we had a honeymoon,
G
and that went well too.
So after that we decided that
D
we would get married,
And that's why we're living here now.
Verse 20
G
D
I used to think my dad was Elvis,
G
But I haven't told him that yet.
Outro 1
I haven't told my dad either.
D

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
