E                      A        B7      E
Sitting in the barroom ordering another beer
    A                 B7        A                E
She stepped up on the stage but nobody wanted to hear
    B7                      A                 E
And every word she sang was sweet music to my ears
 
      A       B7                     E
Elise Elise I believe every word you say
      A       B7                     E
Elise Elise I believe every word you say
 
         G#m                              A                E
It don't matter if the world don't listen don't you pay no heed
      A     B7                           E
Elise Elise come and sing your song with me
 
                       A            B7        E
I sat there at the bar she sang the blues all night
        A                 B7    A            E
Singing straight from the heart living every line
  B7                      A                     E
I wanna tell you girl you touched this heart of mine
 
Repeat #2
 
                 A               B7          E
End of the night they turned the lights down low
          A              B7                     A        E
While the band packed up she was standing there ready to go
  B7                 A                          E
I walked up and said hey I just want to let you know
 
Repeat #2,3
 
      A     B7                           E
Elise Elise come and sing your song with me
