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.

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!

The Angels all love him, He brings them relief
F G
With droplets of moisture from his handkerchief!

Cher'bim 'n ser'phim whizz over his head -

Jesus, let him come back! We don't want Elvis dead!

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!

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
