Elvis Ain't Dead by Scouting For Girls and Jack McCarthy :)
This ain't the best but its a start...What a legendary song!!! Em7 might not have the finger on the high e string. And I can't make up my mind on the chorus to use a F#/D or a for the second chord.
Tabbed by Jack McCarthy
Capo on the 1st fret
---Verse 1---
G When I was young F#/D I never knew Em7 what this thing called love D could do to you G but since you been gone F#/D and I've been on my own Em7D I've been feeling quite peculiar
---Bridge 1---
GF#/DEm7D but I'll get by without your smile GF#/DEm7D I'll get through without you
---Chorus 1--- GD But I wish it was me you chose Em7D I wish it was me you chose GD I wish it was me you chose Em7D I wish it was me you chose GD cause Elvis ain't dead Em7D and you're coming back GD and Elvis ain't dead Em7D and you're coming back Oh
---Same as Verse 1--- Since you been gone I can do what I like but it doesn't mean a lot to me I'm all shook up and I'm lonesome tonight I think I need a lot of lobotomy
