Verse 1
D
We were sitting in the living
A
room on the sofa
The wrong way round,
D
G
look ing 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 stair s,
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 Kar en did,
And listened to how she talked to him,
D
And then af ter a while I
started to copy that
Verse 15
G
And tell him a few thing s,
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.
