Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Presley/Matson From the movie "Love Me Tender" (1956) Released on "Love Me Tender" (EP, 1956) and "A Date With Elvis" (LP, 1959) Now on: "The Complete 50's Masters" [Disc 2] Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I tabbed out the intro and first verse as the pattern is more or less the same throughout the song. The bass is played with the thumb, the chords are hit short and sharp on the off beat and dampened hard before the next bass note.
