Mr._MacManus_fingerpicks_this_song._I_pick_the_bass_string_on_each_beat_and_occasionally
the_off-beat_to_add_some_color,_but_the_bass_guitar_takes_care_of_this_in_the_recording_
and_Elvis_audibly_only_really_hits_the_bass_once_before_the_first_chord_of_the_song.
He_uses_four_different_diminished_chords_(as_he_is_wont_to_do)_in_a_couple_different
positions._All_the_chords_are_tabbed_at_the_bottom_of_the_page._The_song_also_has_a_very
jazzy_rhythm_which_tends_to_stray_from_4/4_from_time_to_time_because_the_song_is_so
lyric-based._It_also_makes_it_nearly_impossible_to_play_without_having_the_recording_as
A_reference.
One_last_note,_even_though_the_chord_seems_to_want_to_change_from_F#m_to_C#dim7_at_the_end
of_the_first_few_verses,_it_does_not,_and_this_keeps_the_song_from_becoming_too
predictable_as_it_would_be_with_a_consistently_rising_bass_line._Probably_a_result_of
T-Bone_Burnetts_masterful_production._Or_Elviss_songwriting_for_that_matter._Not_a_bad_pair.
