Too Much Monkey Business – Elvis Presley
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Chuck Berry
Recorded during a warm-up at the sessions for Stay Away, Joe (1968)
Released on: “Elvis Sings Flaming Star” (1969)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The key of Elvis’ version is F#, which is due to the open tuning that is
used by guitarist Jerry Reed (Open B9: C#-F#-B-F#-A-D#). In standard tuning,
I’d suggest playing in E and using a capo to match the key of the original.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo: 2nd fret
Play: E
Key: F#
For chords in original key transpose +2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional: standard tuning verse pattern that is similar to the
open tuning picking

| A7 | % | E | % |
| B7 | A7 | E | B7 |
The B5-E5 break that links Verse and Chorus is played by sliding the
B5 power chord up until you arrive at the 7th fret for the E5.
Alternatively, you can play B5: x-2-4-x-x-x and then E5 x-x-2-4-x-x
without the slide.
