                        Memories - Elvis Presley
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Billy Strange/Mac Davis
Recorded in 1968
Now on: "2nd to None"

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

The recording is somewhere between G# and A - The first version I suggest 
here is in G. Use a capo 1st fret to play in G#. I added a second version 
version in A, too.

Version 1 (G major; use capo 1st fret to make it sound G#)
