I got Elvis, on my elbow
    D5     A5          D5-A5
and when I flex, Elvis talks.

I got hula girls, on the back of my leg
        D5-A5         D5-A5
and she hulas, when I walk.

          F5       C5
Screaming electric green.
       D5-A5                      D5-A5
Purple mountain's majesty, really talk to me (talk to me babe).

Verse 2
D5-A5
Best believe that needle will hurt you
D5-A5
best deceive these true colors that follow one of your false virtues.

Speak in day-glow red, Explodo paint
                  D5-A5                D5-A5
purple mountain's majesty show me you, I'll show you me.

Uncle Danny, had a coal tattoo

He fought for the unions, some of us still do

On my shoulder is a number, of the chapter he was in
