LOVE HURTS: EVERLY BROTHERS (: F#) (Boudleaux Bryant) (92 – 4/4)
This Tab is based on their slow version, recorded on July 13, 1960 in the F#-key.
I transposed the chords one tone up to the G-key, for easy playing.
To play along with the original, tune your guitar one tone down, or
transpose all the chords one tone down.
They also recorded an up-beat version in their 'That'll Be The Day' style,
I don't know when that was recorded; probably in the mid sixties.
It's shorter and it's got a set beat for the whole song in the A key:
A, F#m, D, E7, every chord lasts 2 measures of 4-counts.
|G |: Chord(s) and Measure of 4-counts.
