Elvis Went to Hollywood – Counting Crows
Intro – Chords
D A C G
x2
VERSE 1
C
November promises it seems,
C
Broken February dreams
C
That don’t come true,
C
But do you remember me?
C C C# D#
I don’t remember you
C B A G F
Were you the one who liked to sing?
F
Or just some other one, it’s strange
C B A G F
How hate remains she stays the same
F
And we’re always changing
CHORUS 1
D A
We are driving on the ceiling,
C G
There are aliens on motorcycles,
D A
Riding in the radio
C G
While we destroy the world
D A
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
C G
And the news it read the future’s dead,
D A
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
C G
That’s when…. [STOP]
No chords
Everything went wrong
D A C G
x2
VERSE 2
C
So long goodbye,
C
The taste of wedding cakes,
C
The sound of nursery rhymes,
C
The ghost of Fredericksburg,
C
Of Alex Chilton,
C
Of Victor Frankenstein,
C B A G
The girl you always loved,
F
The one you have no memory of,
C B A G
It’s strange how hate remains,
F
She prayed for rain on the invasion
CHORUS 2
D A
We are driving on the ceiling,
C G
There are aliens on motorcycles,
D A
Hiding in the radio
C G
While we devour the world
D A
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
C G
And the future said the news is dead
D A
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
C G
That’s when…. [STOP]

x2
VERSE 3
C G
The god of man proclaimed,
F
The last evacuation of a dream.
C
The gospel screamed
F
A song of movie stars
C
And girlie magazines
C B A G
The spaceman too
F
From somewhere far away
You have to say it’s strange
C B A G
We wait in vain,
F
The rocket’s came and now we’re fading
CHORUS 3
D A
We are hiding on the ceiling,
C G
There are aliens on motorcycles,
D A
Riding from the radio
C G
While they destroy the world
D A
I said, Oh oh oh no no,
C G
And the paper’s said the king is dead
D A
When Elvis went to Hollywood,
C G
That’s when…. [STOP]
