      [Verse]

B
out there where the air is clean
B
the red woods high, and the grass is green
E
people tell me they have seen
    B
a giant footprint
          B
is he fishing and skiing and hunting duck
       B
with a guitar, shotgun, and a pick-up truck?
E
well, with any kind of luck
      B
we'll photograph him


[Chorus]

F#      E                  B
oh, oh, come again outdoor elvis
F#             E               B
be our friend, save us outdoor elvis


[Verse 2]

    B
the world has hope 'cause he's feelin' good
B
escaped the city, lives in the woods
E
this is the spot i think he stood
         B
here's a giant footprint
  B
a plaster cast where the pilgrims flock
    B
and ticket lines around the block
      E
if we don't have the king what have we got?
     B
life don't make no sense


[Chorus]

F#      E                  B
oh, oh, come again outdoor elvis
F#             E               B
be our friend, save us outdoor elvis
F#                 E               B
we have sinned, forgive us outdoor elvis


[Bridge]

      Em                                B
we'll build a shrine among the pines to you
Ebm                            B
we might have to set a trap to bring him back
Ebm
dead or alive, if we want to survive
          Em       B      Em        B
we gotta' bring him back (bring him back)
Em          B
oh, oh, oh, oh


[Verse 3]

       B
in his fishin' vest and his silver cape
     B
i'll bet he's really looking great
        E
you can pretty much tell that he's lost weight
         B
from the depth of his footprint
      B
it's said he croons when the moon's above
        B
singing tenderly, "hunk a burnin' love"
     E
it's nice to know he's still got his stuff hasn't
B
lost the accent


[Chorus]

F#      E                  B
oh, oh, come again outdoor elvis
F#             E               B
be our friend, save us outdoor elvis
F#                 E               B
we have sinned, forgive us outdoor elvis


[Bridge]

Em                    Em                B
we'll build a shrine among the pines to you
Em                           Em                     B
('till the end of time we'll stand in this line for you)
Em           Em                    B
o.e. o.e. we look for a sign from you


[Outro]

B
we might have to set a trap
B
dead or alive, we'll bring him back
