Slowly But Surely – Elvis Presley
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Ben Weisman, Sid Wayne
From: "Fun in Acapulco" (1963)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second part of the verse is not easy to play with just one guitar.
The bass changes between C and G (basically a C chord), but the guitar
plays a riff that makes it more than just a C.
