          It Hurts Me – Elvis Presley
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Joy Byers/Charles E. Daniels
B-Side of “Kissin’ Cousins” (1964)
Now on: " Elvis' Gold Records, Vol. 4" 
          and other Greatest Hits collections
                                                     Disc 1
Re-recording on: "Memories: The '68 Comeback Special "
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Elvis obviously liked this song, as he recorded it twice. The first version
was released as a B-side in 1964. He re-recorded it in 1968 for his TV special 
"Elvis". This second version is transposed down one semi-tone to Bb and
truncated: the last verse and the coda are left out because it is part of the 
so-called "Road Medley" ((Nothingville / Big Boss Man / Let Yourself Go / 
It Hurts Me / Guitar Man / Little Egypt / Trouble).
