I found this the other day after seeing a cover of this on VH-1 Classic. I've been meaning to add an Elvis piece to my repertoire of badly botched songs.
It's pretty easy. You can find this song covered by many. many people on You Tube. Easy enough to get the rhythm from there. If I had to think what it was and write it down, I'd mess it up in my head forever. :lol: It's not quite an official "easy" song though. It does have the Bm barre. I think there's a shortcut version of that chord, but I never learned it.
Gentlemen need to be careful when playing this. The girls go wild. I did this last night and had them beating on the door. (Yes, I finally let them out..... ba-dum-dum!) :lol: Suspicious Minds - Elvis
[G] We're caught in a trap;[C] I can't walk out
[D] because I love[C] you too much, [G]baby.
[G] Why can't you see, [C] what you're doing to me,
[D] when you don't believ[C]e a word I [D]say?[C][Bm][D7]
{soc}
[C] We can't go on[G] together[Bm], with Suspicious Mi[C]nds;[D]
and we can't buil[Bm]d our dreams[C], on Suspicious[D] Minds.[D7]
{eoc}
[G] So, if an old friend I know, [C]drops by to say hello,
[D] would I still se[C]e suspicion [G]in your eyes?
[G] Here we go again,[C] asking where I've been.
[D] You can see these tear[C]s are real I'm c[D]rying. [C] [Bm][D7]
{c:chorus}
Oh, let our [Bm]love survive, [C]
I'll dry the [D]tears from your eyes.
Let's don't let a [Bm]good thing die,[C] when honey,
you[D] know I've never,[G] lied to you; [C] Mmm,[G] yeah, [D7] yeah!
[G] We're caught in a trap;[C] I can't walk out
[D] because I love[C] you too much, [G]baby.
[G] Why can't you see, [C] what you're doing to me,
[D] when you don't believ[C]e a word I [D]say?[C][Bm][D7]
Well, I hope you all enjoy!

"I wonder if a composer ever intentionally composed a piece that was physically impossible to play and stuck it away to be found years later after his death, knowing it would forever drive perfectionist musicians crazy." - George Carlin
Strumming pattern?
