He needs to utilize that falsetto more- it is a most effective tool in his musical arsenal- witness this clip of the song from his late show:

This song also deserved a place within those that made the final cut for "National Ransom".

Hi Gang
I am in desperate need of the guitar chords for this wonderful song, if there are any musicians in the audience could you PM me?
Fingers crossed

It's an incredible and beautiful song, and Elvis is in heavyweight league here. But, natural bias aside, he owns this. His falsetto on the chorus is spine-tingling, but when he comes in with the verse at 2:45, it moves to a new level. I'd love to know how much of this - lyrically and musically - is Elvis' work.
Re: Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson, Roseanne Cash: April 5th
Didn’t Elvis say a few years back that he considered this was one of his best songs? That in and of itself says quite a lot. At the time I thought this could have been the song to bring Elvis some mainstream recognition but I was way off on that one. One of his best vocals, so touching and emotional, and breathtakingly beautiful. This has a special place in my heart, as I played it for my mom a year or so before dementia would steal so many memories from her. Years ago she had met Kris Kristofferson and was a big fan of his, and of course she knew of my love of Elvis from the time I was a bratty teen. She got a big kick hearing how Elvis had become such a great singer of ballads over the years as she “fondly” recalled the noisier sound of his earlier records. I must have played this dozens of times for her on my weekly Sunday visits, and it always reminds me of my mom.

At a UMADI book signing I thanked EC for putting it on the soundtrack, and he said "Oh yeah, that's a pretty one!"
