Elvis Presley

Tom: D

Standard tuning.

    Intro: D
       D
    If today was not an endless highway
       D
    If tonight was not an endless trail
       G               A           D
    If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
         G              A                     D
    Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

            G          A                 D
    Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
       G                A            D
    If I could hear her heart softly pounding
       G            A        D
    If only she was lying by me
             G         A        D
    Then I'd lie in my bed once again

    I can't see my reflection in the water
    I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
    I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
    I can't remember the sound of my own name
    Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
    If I could hear her heart softly pounding
    If only she was lying by me
    Then I'd lie in my bed once again
    There's beauty in the silver singing river
    There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
    But none of these and nothing else could match the beauty
    That I remember in my true love's eyes
    Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
    If I could hear her heart softly pounding
    If only she was lying by me
    Then I'd lie in my bed once again
    If today was not an endless highway
    If tonight was not an endless trail
    If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
    Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all
    Yes and only if my own true love was waiting
    If I could hear her heart softly pounding
    If only she was lying by me
    Then I'd lie in my bed once again
