Ellie
Recorded by Charley Pride
Written by Blake Mevis, Bill Shore, Byron Gallimore

Intro:

C
Ellie may and Ellie may not
                           G7        C
When my bad Ellie makes my blood run hot

                           F       C
That honey gold hair those emerald eyes
     F                      C
That little girl look can't hide the woman inside
                                      F         C
Cause that innocent smile means she's ready for love
        F             G7                   C
Or does she even know that she's all grown up

              F         C
Ellie may and Ellie may not
                           G7        C
When my bad Ellie makes my blood run hot
              F         C
Ellie may and Ellie may not
     F                  G7          C
If I ever start fallin' I may never stop

                            F    C
Ellie plays my heart like a fine guitar
                 F          G7          C
If I were in her arms would she go that far

Repeat #2

                           F                C
Ellie's like picture she's worth a thousand words
         F                  G7            C
But does she see in me what I'm seein' in her

         F                  G7            C
But does she see in me what I'm seein' in her
F         C
Ellie may and Ellie may not
                           G7        C
When my bad Ellie makes my blood run hot
              F         C
Ellie may and Ellie may not
     F                  G7          C
If I ever start fallin' I may never stop
 
                                  F        C
The way that Ellie moves makes me stop and stare
      F                  C
If my heart skips a beat would she even care

Repeat #2

                              F       C
Ellie winds me up I've give I come unwound
         F             G7            C
Will she makes me up I come tumblin' down

Repeat #1 x1
