They counted up the votes last night
Democracy's in critical condition
My country somehow elected
The worst possible politician

It wasn't really even close
The populous decided
They wanted the immoral man
While many of us stood there crying

Don't bury me I'm not dead yet
Lady Liberty rang her hands pleading
But on this sad sad day
Its easy to feel defeated

Don't bury me I'm not dead yet
Lady Liberty rang her hands pleading
Because in the end our ideals
Will not be defeated

Don't Bury Me I'm Not Dead Yet

Now Sunday noon right after church goin' down to the yardsale
Gonna pick up a fine antique for my best girl

D 
Then I saw Elvis On Black Velvet
G
What a work of art
D                     Bm
I knew right there and then
            G              A      D
It would go straight to my baby's heart
D
Elvis On Black Velvet
Bm
So real he almost speaks
D                  Bm
Yes Elvis On Black Velvet
G      A     D
It's a masterpiece

D                         G
Then on Christmas morning she opened up my prize
D                              Bm
Right away I could see the joy light up in her eyes
G
She said "Oh darlin let us drink a toast
Bm
Then lets do some dancin"
G                     D
So I poured us both a cold one drank
G                A         D
Coors Light from champagne glasses

G
Lets take the family portait with our brand new treasure (G#)
A
All around the Christmas tree as we beam with pleasure (A7)
G
The kids will hold their matching AR-15s (G#)
A
While The King looks down upon our American dream (A w high E 5th fret)

G
We'll hang it up there on the wall right next to Orange Jesus (G#)
A
Velvet Elvis you'll always protect us(A7)
G
His majesty will cover up that drunk punch hole(G#)
A
I made when my team lost the Super Bowl(A w high E 5th fret)

Elvis On Black Velvet

I want to stand in the snowfall
Hear not a sound
Walk down the center of Broadway
Not a car around
Want to put on my skates
Skate up the ice
Stare up in wonder at the
Northern Lights

  Just want some peace
  Some peace and quiet
  No I won't ask for too much
  Just want some peace
  Some peace and quiet
  Is that too much to ask?

Want to make a snowman
10 feet high
Reach up to the stars
In the jet black sky
Making some snowballs
So fun to throw
Then stand near a barnfire
Be warmed by the glow
