This is definitely a challenging one:
Here's what I got :
> G F>Now it's my turn to talk and your turn to think
>G A A>Your turn to buy and my turn to drink
>G F>Your turn to cry and my turn to sink ...
C/E would just be a normal C chord with an open E in the bass.
(EC uses C/E a lot)
The Apossible an open E? My best guess for a fingering would be:
E string: deadened
A string: 1st finger on 1st fret
D string: 4th finger on 4th fret
G string: 2nd finger on 3rd fret
B string: 3rd finger on 3rd fret
E string: Open
I don't know, though-I've never seen Elvis live-sigh-I have a laser disc of
The Juliet Letters, but of course he doesn't play guitar on that one.
The bridge is also strange-you have the right bassline: E Fbut I think the chord just stays on Emi, although some instrument other
than the guitar keeps hinting at D(The early 70's dylan inflections are beautiful in this section)
The second part of the bridge (boasting of loving the daylights...)
sounds like the first part transposed up a whole step, so
FThen back to the Emi
and then when he says "you know the night just hours" (what does he
mean by that?) the bass goes: E and then in 8th notes: Fall against some kind of Emi. I'm just playing the bass line and
plucking the G B and E strings open for the E mi
On the Fstrings and then playing the bassline on the low string.
Your descending bassline coming down against the A chord is right, as
is the rest of the transcription.
I hope my carriage returns aren't coming out weird. Let me know.
Now I've got to go buy the CD to hear it better. I was going to
wait for the box set reissues to get to this album.
Does anyone know when the next box set is due to be released?

Looks good to me except that the chorus might be a bit different:
>

> G A D G
> Your turn to buy and my turn to drink
> G F> Your turn to cry and my turn to sink

Now it's [G]my turn to t[FYo[G]ur turn to b[A]uy and [Bbm]my turn to d[Bm]rink
Yo[G]ur turn to c[Fblah blah
Or something like that.
