Steve Goodman, Elvis Imitators (1981)
^{Key: :[G] (w: Steve Goodman, Mike Smith)}

VERSE 1:
Well, I [G open] walk up to the mike and and then I shake my hips
[G open] I take a deep breath and put a snare on my lips
[G]^[C open] See me on the street you wouldn't know my name
[C]^[G open] But imitating Elvis is my claim to fame
[G]^[D7 open] So when you put my imitation name in lights
[D7]^[G open] There'll be imitation good [G] rockin' tonight

CHORUS:
Cuz I'm an an [G] Elvis imitator and I just can't stop
Imitating Elvis from the bottom to the top
[C] Imitate the way he talked, the way he smiled
[G] I throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
This [D7] imitation Elvis may not be the King
[G] But baby I'm the next best thing

VERSE 3:
[G] Singing Viva Las Vegas and the G.I. Blues
Won't you Love Me Tender in my Blue Suede Shoes
Well [C] let me be your teddy bear, if you must
[G] Oh baby Please Surrender, 'cause I need your touch
Well [D7] if you feelin' lonely, need a place to dwell
[D7]^[G open] Come on down to imitation heartbreak hotel

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
We're gonna [G] rock, rock, imitation
We're gonna rock, rock, imitation
