Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley - Acoustic Guitar Cover

If you'd like to learn this song or strum along with me, a song sheet containing the lyrics and chords I play can be viewed or downloaded from my songbook blog here:
I've transposed the song down from it's original key of E to the key of C, to suit my singing range better.
Heartbreak Hotel was written by Mae Boren Axton and Tommy Durden (with credit also being given to Elvis), and was released as a single by Elvis in January 1956. It was his first single after leaving Sun Records and signing with RCA Victor. The single topped the Billboard Top 100 for seven weeks, the Cashbox's Pop singles chart for six weeks, and the Country and Western chart for seventeen weeks. It reached #2 in the UK single chart.

Isn't E the original key?? You transposed it according to your voice, didn't you? ... You motivated me to try that song myself 😎🎸
