[Verse 1]
CLast night, I dreamed of Elvis, he was standing in the light
F CLooking radiant and beautiful, just like he did in life
C
I said, "E, it's good to see you, look so healthy and at peace"
F G CHe said "You know, I’m really happy here, how's things in Tennessee?"
CWell, I told him we all missed him, that the whole world loved the King
F CHe said "You know, if things were different, I'd ask you to wear my ring"
CI said, "El, uh, can I call you El?"
C
"Ah, Elvis, El, or E"
F G CI said, " just dreamin’, or were you just flirtin' with me?"
C"Uh-huh-huh"
 
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
CThen he curled his lip and said
