This is my first Elvis Presley tune that I've arranged for solo guitar. I transcribed how Elvis sang the melody and tried to play the melody like he did as much as I could. Apart from that I got creative with the harmony with some dissonant harmonies and reharmonization. I tried to maintain the beauty and simplicity of the original while being creative with the harmony. For the last chorus I play the melody in the bass and created a counter-melody line on top. Having the melody in three different octaves with different harmonic choices for each chorus was I nice touch in representing the three choruses Elvis sang in his version. I hope you enjoy my take on this beautiful and classic ballad.
