[Verse 1]
C
Last night, I dreamed of Elvis, he was standing in the light
                    F                              C
Looking radiant and beautiful, just like he did in life
C
I said, "E, it's good to see you, look so healthy and at peace"
         F                                G                  C
He said "You know, I’m really happy here, how's things in Tennessee?"
C
Well, I told him we all missed him, that the whole world loved the King
         F                                                          C
He said "You know, if things were different, I'd ask you to wear my ring"
C
I said, "El, uh, can I call you El?"
C
"Ah, Elvis, El, or E"
         F                           G                      C
I said, "Am I just dreamin’, or were you just flirtin' with me?"
C
"Uh-huh-huh"
 
 
[Chorus]
C                               F
Whoa-ho, I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
G                        C
Dreamed about Elvis last night
                              F
We sang "Don't Be Cruеl" and "All Shook Up"
      G                 C
"Heartbreak Hotel" and "That's Alright"
                F                G            C
"Lеt Me Be Your Teddy Bear" and "Blue Hawaii" too
                      F
"Jailhouse Rock" and "Viva Las Vegas"
G         C
"Kentucky Moon of Blue"
C
"Blue Moon of Kentucky" (Shine on)
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
Then he curled his lip and said
C
"You know, you remind me a little of Monroe"
C
"Oh," and I said, "Really? Marilyn?" And he said
C
"No, Bill"
C
"Bill, the King of Bluegrass?"
C
"Uh-huh"
 
 
[Chorus]
C                      F
I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
G                        C
Dreamed about Elvis last night
C
Uh-huh
                       F
I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
G                   C
Dreamed about Elvis last night
C
Oh, oh yeah
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
And the dream went on
C
And I dreamed I said in real life, "You sang so many songs
      F                                                  C
And I always thought I'd like to hear you sing one of my own"
C
He said "I almost did one of yours, the one about true love
F                                          G               C
The 'I Will Always Love You' song, but the Colonel screwed that up"
C
Well, he sure did, but after all, this is my dream
                                 F
It would be a dream come true if maybe you could sing it now
    G                C
And let me sing with you, and we sang
Am     F G    C         Am F      G    C     F C  G
I will always love you, I  will always love you
 
 
[Bridge]
       C
I hope life (I hope life)
C
Treats you kind (Will treat you kind)
      Am
And I hope (I hope)
G                        F       G
You have all that you've dreamed of
  C
I wish you joy (I wish you joy)
C
And happiness (And happiness)
     Am       G            F                    G
But above all this, I wish you love (I wish you love)
    C Am   F G    C                Am   F G    C     F C  G N.C.
And I will always love you (Oh), I will always love you
Oh, then I woke up
 
 
[Chorus]
C                      F
I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
G                        C
Dreamed about Elvis last night
                                F
We sang "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Love me Tender"
 G                       C
"Burnin’ Love", "Are You Lonesome Tonight"
                     F
Dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis
G                        C
Dreamed about Elvis last night

Uh-huh
                       F
I dreamed about Elvis, dreamed about Elvis

Then he faded into the light
