Tuning:Standard
For this song i pretty much used octaves the whole way through as it gives you the
closest sound with a guitar as you'll get.
I have two versions for the chorus, One following the vocal melody (which everyone likes
to play) and one simply backing.
Intro/Verse:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----5----------12---------7-------2---------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------x10--------------------------------|
A|-----3----------10---------5-------0---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Little parts in the verse
0:20 "Elvis" 0:23 *Trumpet noise" 0:31 *bell riff*
e|----------------------------------------------------------10-12-8-5-3------|
B|-------------------------------13-10h-13p-10h------------------------------|
G|---12-----14---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------10----------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chorus: (VOCAL MELODY)
Play it too the melody, the exact same way rhythmically
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---7--7--7--9--7--5--------7--9--7--5-------2--9--9----2--5--5-------------|

Verse 2. Either repeat verse one or, repeat this everytime it comes back to the C (3rd
Fret A String).
Im not going to tab it but just play around with the notes of a C major Bar Chord
x35553 as it all works
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------5------------------------------5--------------------------|
D|-----------5------------------------5-------5------------------------------|
A|-----3--------------------------7-------3----------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Repeat Chorus (which does include "they're coming" bit)
Then Chorus lyrics with Verse chords (Swap the A (x0x2xx) for an E (x7x9xx) 1st time round)
Then "They're coming" the rest of the song.
