The King Is Gone (So Are You) Lyrics by George Jones

The King Is Gone (So Are You)

[G] Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter
That looks like [D] Elvis
I [C] soaked the label [Am] off [D7] a Flintstone Jelly Bean [G] jar
I cleared us off a place on that one little table
that you [D] left us
And [C] pulled me up a [D7] big ole piece of [G] floor

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

[C] 'Round about 10 we all got to [D7] talking
[C] 'Bout Graceland, Bedrock and [D7] such
[C] The conversation finally turned to [D7] women
[C] But they said they didn't get around too [D7] much
[C] Elvis said, "Find 'em [D7] young"
And Fred said [G] "Old Fashioned girls are [C] fun"
Yabba Dabba [G] Doo, the [C] King is [G] gone
And [D] so are [G] you

[C] Later on it finally [D7] hit me
[C] That you wouldn't be 'a comin' home no [D7] more
[C] 'Cause this time I know you won't [D7] forgive me
[C] Like all of them other times [D7] before
[C] Then I broke Elvis' [D7] nose
Pouring the [G] last drop from his [C] toes
Yabba Dabba [G] Doo, the [C] King is [G] gone
And [D] so are [G] you
[C] Yabba Dabba [G] Doo, the[C] King is [G] gone
And [D] so are [G] you
