Version 1 Version 2Poor Boy - Elvis Presley From the Movie 'Love Me Tender' 1956 Tabbed by Del Bradley CAPO on Fret 3 ____________________________________________________________________ Please don't forget to rate and comment, Your feedback would be much appreciated, Thank you :) When Elvis sings Darlin' I am not sure if he's actually saying Dolly, will have to leave that up to you. Play C7 chord as an open chord for easier changes. ____________________________________________________________________ (VOCAL only until 1st chord shown on EVERY verse and chorus) -------------------------------------------------------------------- [CHORUS] NC C G G Theyyyy, call, meee, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy G7 D7 D G G But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue G C C7 C G G 'Cause I could never, be a, poor boy G D G G As long as I’ve got a darlin like you [VERSE 1] NC G D7 D7 Ain't got a crust, ain't got a cent D G G Can't buy a jug, can't pay the rent G C C7 C I got a heart full of dreams C G And a lot of memory A7 A D7 D And that's e-nough for me !
