[F] walk down to [Dm] [G] [C] walk down to [Am] [Dm] [G] [C]

Your [Dm]phone call says you're sorry

Your [Dm]phone call says you're sorry
An' the [G]grapevine says you're [C]free.
[C]Your drugstore dady's [F]flesh an' blood
Like [G]marilyn mon[C]roe,
[C]An' out there on the [F]runway now
The [G]king's all set to [C]go.
[C]They'll cover up the [F]window soon
'Cause [G]he'll be rollin' [C]in,
He's [C]Elvis Presley, [F]honey chile,
An' [G]I can't cop his [C]grin.

An' [G]Jane went off to [C]work,
[C]It's wooden soldier's [F]Christmas time
An' [G]Jane she is a [C]clerk.

These [G]rain clouds haven't [C]found.
