 5   5    -5   6   -6  -5  -6
Eve-nin' shad-ows make me blue,
 7    -7  -6  -6  6   4    5
When each wear-y day is through,
-6 -5  5   -4 -4  -3   -3
How I long to be with you,
-5  5  -4  4
My Happ-i-ness.

 5  5   -5 6 -6  -5  -6
Ev-ery day I rem-in-isce,
  7   -7  -6  -6   6   5    6
Dream-in' of your ten-der kiss,
-7 -6     6    6  -5  -4  -4
Al-ways think-in' how I miss,
-5   5 -4  4
My Happ-i-ness.

A mill-ion years it seems,
-7    -6  -6   6     6    -5  -6    6
Have gone by, since we shared our dreams,
 5    5   -4   -4   6  6  -7
But I'll hold you once a-gain,
    -6   -7  7  7    7  -7  -6   6
There'll be no blue mem-or-ies then.

  5   5   -5    6   -6  -5  -6
Wheth-er skies are grey or blue,
 6 -6  -5  -5   5    4    5
An-y place on earth will do,
-7   -6  6   -5  -5  -4  -4
Just as long as I'm with you,
-5   5  -4  4
My Happ-i-ness.

Note:  This song was recorded by Elvis in the early 50s on acetate tape and given to his mother.  Elvis paid 25 cents US to make it!
