Love Me Tender

A classic song today, and one of the first songs I ever learnt to play on the ukulele. Elvis’s “Love Me Tender”. I first learnt it with the title “Aura Lea”, it’s originally an old civil war ballad that words were put to for the 1956 film Love Me Tender.

I have included 4 versions in the PDF, that you can download for FREE above, including the lead sheet with melody & chords diagrams, a strumming guide and 2 fingerstyle arrangements!

The Melody and Chords are super easy, perfect for beginners! The first fingerstyle arrangement is a nice way to get into chord melody playing. But, if you want something a little more advanced, the final arrangement should be a good challenge as I’ve included some more advanced techniques.

The aim here is to work your way through the versions to help you improve. The video I’ve included is for the advanced version, something to aim for!
