Your feedback would be much appreciated, Thank you :)
When Elvis sings Darlin' I am not sure if he's actually saying Dolly,
will have to leave that up to you.
Play chord as an open chord for easier changes.

/CHORUS
Theyyyy, call, meee, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never, be a, poor boy
- stop
As long as I've got a darlin like you
Ain't got a crust, ain't got a cent
Can't buy a jug, can't pay the rent
I got a heart full of dreams
And a lot of memory
- stop
And that's e-nough for me
They call me, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never, be a, poor boy
- stop
As long as I've got a darlin like you
Can't buy a house, can't buy a lot
Ain't got a bean, ain't got a pot
But what I got is a heart
Full of love and memory
- stop
And that's e-nough for me
They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never, be a, poor boy
- stop
As long as I've got a darlin like you
Don't have a pig, don't have a cow
don't have a horse to pull a plow
But what I got is a heart
Full of love and memory
- stop
And that's e-nough for me
THEY CALL ME ! poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never, be a,a, poor boy
(to finish off the song play last 2 chords (!) as emphasised single downstrums)
As long as I've got a darlin' like
I've got a darlin' like
I've got a darrrrrrrrlin like yoooooooooooou ! !
