Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Red West/Johnny Christopher From: "Promised Land" (1974) / "Elvis' Gold Records, Vol. 5" Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS Playing a regular G minor chord may not fit the feel of the song, even though the keyboard clearly has the minor 3rd repeatedly. I'd suggest playing a G5 or G(no 3rd) to leave space for the singer to make those "bluesy" bends in the melody.
         E-A-D-G-B-e
G(no3rd) 3-x-0-0-3-3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | G5 | % | % | % | | G5 | % | % | % | [Verse 1]
  G5
I know you're a lonely woman and I love you

    G5
But someone else is waiting and he owns you

   Bb                  C        Bb                      C
If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love
[Chorus]
       Em             C           D          G5
If you   talk in your sleep don't mention my name

           Em             C        D             G5
And if you   walk in your sleep forget where you came
[Verse 2]
G5
Walking every night here in the shadows

G5
So afraid that sometime he may follow

        Bb                      C        
There's always the chance he'll find us

  Bb              C 
I don't need to remind you
[Chorus]
       Em             C           D          G5
If you   talk in your sleep don't mention my name

           Em             C        D             G5
And if you   walk in your sleep forget where you came
[Verse 3]
G5
Love is so much sweeter when it's borrowed

     G5
I'll feel a little easier tomorrow

      Bb               C        Bb              C
Don't give our secret away, be careful what you say
[Chorus]
       Em             C           D          G5
If you   talk in your sleep don't mention my name

           Em             C        D             G5
And if you   walk in your sleep forget where you came
[Outro]
G5
  Forget where you came, now

G5
  Forget where you came

G5
  Don't mention my name

G5
  Don't mention my name

G5
  Forget where you came
