Elvis Presley, Burning Love (1972)
Key: :[D#] (w: Dennis Linde) (Arthur Alexander, 1971)
VERSE 1:
[D#](*1*) Lord Almighty,
[G#](*0.5*) I feel my
[A#](*0.5*) temperature
[D#](*2*) rising
[D#](*1*) Higher, higher,
[G#](*0.5*) it's burning
[A#](*0.5*) through to my
[D#](*2*) soul
[D#](*1*) Girl, girl, girl,
[G#](*0.5*) you've gone and
[A#](*0.5*) set me on
[D#](*2*) fire
[D#](*1*) My brain is flaming;
[G#](*0.5*) I don't know
[A#](*0.5*) which way to
[D#](*2*) go
CHORUS:
Your
[Cm](*0.5*) kisses
[A#](*0.5*) lift me
[G#](*1*) higher
Like the
[Cm](*0.5*) sweet song
[A#](*0.5*) of a
[G#](*1*) choir
You
[Cm](*0.5*) light my
[A#](*0.5*) morning
[G#](*1*) sky
With burning
[D#](*2*) love
VERSE 2:
[D#](*1*) Ooh, ooh, ooh, I
[G#](*0.5*) feel my
[A#](*0.5*) temperature
[D#](*2*) rising
[D#](*1*) Help me, I'm flaming, It
[G#](*0.5*) must be a
[A#](*0.5*) hundred and
[D#](*2*) nine
[D#](*1*) Burning, burning, burning,
[G#](*0.5*) and
[A#](*0.5*) nothing can
[D#](*2*) cool me
[D#](*1*) I just might turn to
[G#](*0.5*) Smoke, but
[A#](*0.5*) I feel
[D#](*2*) fine
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK: [over CHORUS]
VERSE 3:
[D#](*1*) It's coming closer; the
[G#](*0.5*) flames are now
[A#](*0.5*) licking my
[D#](*2*) body
[D#](*1*) Won't you help me, I
[G#](*0.5*) feel like I'm
[A#](*0.5*) slipping a-
[D#(*2*)]-way
[D#](*1*) It's hard to breathe,
[G#](*0.5*) my
[A#](*0.5*) chest is a heav-
[D#](*2*)-ing
[D#](*1*) Lord have mercy, I'm
[G#](*0.5*) burning a
[A#](*0.5*) hole where I
[D#](*2*) lay
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO:
I'm just a
[D#](*1*) hunk-a hunk-a of burning
[G#](*1*) love
