5. Too Much Monkey Business – Elvis Presley
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Chuck Berry
Recorded during a warm-up at the sessions for Stay Away, Joe (1968)
Tuning: Standard
The key of Elvis’ version is F#, which is due to the open tuning that is
used by guitarist Jerry Reed. 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.

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.
