‘Love Me Tender’ by Elvis Presley. 2 verses/choruses sung played on a Telecaster. Sometimes a song requires no fancy bombastic riffs or lead play. Elvis Presley delivers sweet lilting vocals over some well chosen chords strummed gently does the trick! D/DM7/E7/A7/F#M7/Bm/G/Gm7. I tried not to impersonate him when singing 
I played a brief impov jazzy riff at the end.
Love Me Tender” is a 1956 ballad song recorded by Elvis Presley and published by “Elvis Presley Music” from the 20th Century Fox film of the same name. Lyrics are credited to “Vera Matson” (though actual lyricist was her husband, Ken Darby) and Elvis Presley himself; this song was adapted from the melody for “Aura Lee”, a sentimental US civil war ballad.
