<< Back to George Jones Song List

Version 1

            The King is Gone

[Verse]
G
Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
                D
That looks like Elvis
  C                    D7                      G
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar

I cleared us off a place on that one little table
         D
that you left us
    C              D7               G
And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor

[Chorus]
  C                   Am
I pulled the head off Elvis
       C              Am
Filled Fred up to his pelvis
            G        C       G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    D      G
And so are you

[Verse]

C                             D7
'Round about 10 we all got to talking
C                            D7
'Bout Graceland, Bedrock and such
C                                  D7
The conversation finally turned to women
C                                        D7
But they said they didn't get around too much
C                     D7
Elvis said, "Find 'em young"
              G                        C
And Fred said "Old Fashioned girls are fun"

[Chorus]
            G        C       G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    D      G
And so are you

[Verse]
C                   D7
Later on it finally hit me
C                                      D7
That you wouldn't be 'a comin' home no more
C                                 D7
'Cause this time I know you won't forgive me
C                            D7
Like all of them other times before
C                   D7
Then I broke Elvis' nose
            G                  C
Pouring the last drop from his toes

[Chorus]
            G        C       G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    D      G
And so are you
C           G        C       G
Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone
    D      G
And so are you

[Outro]
G
Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
                D
That looks like Elvis
  C                D7                          G
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar...
