Another Hollywood waitress
Is telling us shes having your baby
And theres a rumour that youre on ice
And you will rise again someday
And that theres a photograph
Where youre dancing on your grave
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house
(Same refrain progression)
Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain
Ab/F
The wind it blows
Eb F
The wind it blows the door closed
