This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

@SONG: "Blue Moon Revisited (Song For Elvis)"

Bass line:

A --3-----s7------------5----s8------------|
E ------------5----s8------------3----s7---|

C Am F G7 (over, and over, and over again)

I only want to say

That if there is a way

I want my baby back with me

Cause he's my true love, my only one don't you see?

And on that fateful day

Perhaps in the new sun of May

My baby walks back into my arms

I'll keep him beside me forever from harm

You see I was afraid

To let my baby astray

I kept him too tightly by my side

And then one sad day, he went away and he died

Blue Moon you saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue Moon you knew just what I was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for

Someone I really could care for

I only want to say

That if there is a way

I want my baby back with me

Cause he's my true love, my only one don't you see?

Plus other guitar solos that I haven't taken the time to figure

out, and that even if I had, I probably wouldn't take the time

to tab because, geez, that's a lot tougher to do than I thought!

Know of any other way besides a brute force method with a text

editor?
