Beach Boy Blues by Elvis Presley
Written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett
Note: A "luau" (Hawaiian: lū'au) is a Hawaiian party or feast.
Normal tuning, no capo.
Intro: (My best effort - do suggest changes)
Over 4 bars, downstroke strum.
e|7-7-7-8-8-8-7-7-7-8-8-8-7-7-7-8-8-8-7-7-7-8-8-8-|
B|8-8---8-8---8-8---8-8---8-8---8-8---8-8---8-8---|
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|
(Alternatively, I find C G7 C G7 works nicely as a beach bum lazy intro)
I used to play this with G7 where the Gaug is till the suggestion below. G7
works okay if Gaug is too tricky.
