Biography:

Frank Vincent Zappa (born December 21, 1940 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States – December 4, 1993 in Los Angeles, California, United States) was an American composer, guitarist, singer, bandleader and producer. He was one of the most prolific musicians of his time, releasing over fifty albums of original material spanning over a thirty-five year career.

Zappa's earliest influences were 1950s pop and rock (such as doo-wop and rhythm and blues), and 20th-century classical composers including Igor Stravinsky and Edgard Varèse.

D Em
Elvis has just *left the building -
C D
Those are his footprints, right there
D Em
Elvis has just left the building -
F G
To climb up that heavenly stair %

Em D
He gave away Cadillacs once in a while,
F G
Had sex in his underpants, Yes, he had style!
Em D
Bell-bottom jump suits? That's them in a pile,
F G
But he don't need 'em now, 'Cause he's makin' Jesus smile!

D Em
Elvis has just *left the building -
C D
Those are his footprints, right there
D Em
Elvis has just left the building -
F G
To climb up that heavenly stair %

Em D
The Angels all love him, He brings them relief
F G
With droplets of moisture from his handkerchief!
Em D
Cher'bim 'n ser'phim whizz over his head -
F G
Jesus, let him come back! We don't want Elvis dead!

D Em
Elvis has just *left the building -
C D
Those are his footprints, right there
D Em
Elvis has just left the building -
F G
To climb up that heavenly stair %

Em D
So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?
F G
He knows we all love him - We'll just watch him eat,
Em D
So take down the foil from his hotel retreat,
F G
And bring back The King for the man in the street!

D Em
Elvis has just *left the building -
C D
Those are his footprints, right there
D Em
Elvis has just left the building -
F Am G D C D
He's up there with Jesus, in a big pur ple
chair

The interpretation of the last line is my own but may be close to
reality!

The * indicates where you can do the "hippie" lick, i.e. by fingering
a regular old first position D chord then momentarily dropping your
pinky down on the 3rd fret E string.

% indicates a good place to put in a little bass run (eighth notes):
Low E 3rd fret
Low A open
Low A 2nd fret
Low A open
Low E 3rd fret
then hit the Em chord on the down beat
