Elvis Decanter Chords

(ver. 1)
Vandals
[Intro]
G  Em  G  Em
           G                Em                 G                 Em
Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me
   G               Em             C            D N.C.
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King
G            Em                G             Em
  The more I drank from it the less I saw of you
G               Em            C             D
  That bottle's empty now and you and I are through
 
 
[Riff]
G  Em  G  Em
G  Em  G  Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
     G               Em
When you gave me the King of gifts
  G                   Em
I didn't know what to say
         G                 Em
Except a hundred and fifty dollars
      G            Em
Is an awful lot to pay
      G
For a girl like you
    Em                G         Em
who doesn't make much money, anyway
        G               Em
But you cared enough to put away
  G           Em
a little everyday
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
For that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
          C
A fitting symbol of our love, an empty likeness of the King
              D
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
          C                   C   G   Am      G  Em  G  Em
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
 
 
[Verse 2]
     G                     Em                G                   Em
They told me I should have saved it; it'd be worth something someday.
          G                   Em               G            Em
But me, I couldn't wait, that King of Rock got lighter everyday.
G                  Em              G                Em
  Soon it was half empty and I was half as close to you.
           G                 Em                  G                 Em
And then I drank the rest, I should've guessed I drank our love in two.
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
Oh, that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
          C
A fitting symbol of our love, an empty likeness of the King
         D
If I had filled it up or made it last would it have changed a thing?
         C                   C   G   Am      G  Em  G  Em
Oh, that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
 
 
[Bridge]
         G                   C   G   Am      D
Oh, that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me.
       G                    C   G   Am      D
In the   name of Elvis, why did you have to leave?
       C                G          C    G  Am N.C. G  Em  G  Em
When I   love you and I   need you desperately  tonight.
 
 
[Riff]
G  Em  G  Em
G  Em  G  Em
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
Oh, that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
          C
A fitting symbol of our love, an empty likeness of the King
              D
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
          C                   C   G   Am      G  Em  G  Em
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
 
 
[Verse 3]
           G                Em                 G                 Em
Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me,
    G              Em             G            Em
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King.
G            Em                G             Em
  The more I drank from it the less I saw of you.
G               Em             G             Em
  That bottle's empty now, and you and I are through.
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
Oh, that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
          C
A fitting symbol of our love, an empty likeness of the King
              D
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink,
          C
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
 
 
[Outro]
         D
If I had filled it up or made it last would it have changed a thing?
         C                   C   G   Am N.C. G
Oh, that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
