If I Can Dream - Elvis Presley

Tabbed by: Ari Cohen
Email: guitaricohen@aol.com (feel free to email me for questions, but make
the subject line say "Guitar Tab Questions",
otherwise I'll delete it/won't read it)
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
sidenote- 1) The intro is the trumpet part at the beginning of the song tabbed
out into a guitar part. I wrote it this
way so you can play the song without a band (just you and your guitar, which is
the way I prefer playing it).
2) Some of the chords might look incorrect in their placement
regarding the lyrics, but they are correct.
3) Listen to the song for strumming patterns.
