                We're Gonna Move – Elvis Presley
E|E|E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------||||

Written by: Presley/Matson
A great early RCA recording (1956)
Now on: "The Complete 50's Masters [Disc 2]"

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

E|E|E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------||||

I tabbed out the intro and first verse as the pattern is more or less 
the same throughout the song. The bass is played with the thumb, the chords 
are hit short and sharp on the off beat and dampened hard before the next 
bass note.
