I'm not sure what tuning RT uses, but I know he played this with a capo.
You can fool with open string runs based on a D/F# chord.
[Verse 1]
D D Oh, she dressed in the dark A And she whispered Amen D G/B A D She was pretty in pink like a young girl again D D Oh, Twenty years married A But she never thought twice D G/B A D She sneaked out the door and walked into the night
[Verse 2]
A G/B D And silver wings carried her over the sea A G/B D From the west coast of Ireland to west Tennessee D To be with her sweetheart A She left everything D G/B A D From Galway to Graceland to be with the King
[Verse 3]
D D She was humming "Suspicion" A That's the song she liked best D G/B A D She had "Elvis I love you" tattooed on her breast D D They landed in Memphis A Her heart beat so fast D G/B A D She'd dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last
[Verse 4]
A G/B D She was down by his graveside Day after day A G/B D Come closing time they would drag her away D To be with her sweetheart A She left everything D G/B A D From Galway to Graceland to be with the King
[Verse 5]
D D They came in the thousands A From the whole human race D G/B A D To pay their respects at his last resting place D D Ah, but blindly she knelt there A And she told him her dreams D G/B A D And she thought that he answered, or that's how it seemed
[Verse 6]
A G/B D And they dragged her away It was handcuffs this time A G/B D She said my dear man, "Are you out of your mind?" D Can't you see that we're married? A I'm wearing his ring D G/B A D I've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the King D G/B A D From Galway to Graceland to be with the King
