E9 
A deep thick plush blue carpet at my feet 
 
A peacock stained glass window staring back at me 
  D9                                                E9 
A nine foot crushed white velvet sofa in the hallway 
 
          E9 
There's a TV in the kitchen 
 
She's cooking in her panties 
                                               
Flippin' them little sandwiches likes she's flippin' her hair 
D9                                      E9 
Sure is nice to have someone to hold me 
   
Chorus:   
           G          
I'm the king of kings you see 
A7  
Everything you need 
           E9  
Baby, I'm Elvis  
 
baby, baby, I'm Elvis 
 
baby, baby, I'm Elvis

       E9 
I got a hundred golden records in this one room 
 
I got fifty golden knobs upon my doors 
      D9                                                        E9 
I got one black twenty-five foot stretch Cadillac to drive you home 
 
To drive you home 
 
              (Pat) 
E9 
Downstairs there's a room in the basement 
 
It's mostly made of yellow and black 
D9 
Some folks call it the jungle 
                                  E9 
I just think it's a nice place to relax 
 
Chorus: 
        G          
I'm the king of kings you see 
A7 
Everything you need 
          E9  
Baby, I'm Elvis  
 
baby, baby, I'm Elvis 
 
baby, baby, I'm Elvis

E9 
Once a year they all come to see me 
 
I watch them throwing flowers at my toes 
          D9 
There's a line that stretches down the driveway 
                               E9 
Past my plane, ends at the gift shop 
 
Chorus: 
        G          
I'm the king of kings you see 
A7  
Everything you need 
          E9  
Baby, I'm Elvis  
         G          
I'm the king of kings you see 
A7  
Everything you need 
           E9  
Baby, I'm Elvis 
 
baby, baby, I'm Elvis 
 
baby, baby, I'm Elvis
