3 Chords, 1 Legend ???? Easy Elvis Guitar Lesson | Heartbreak Hotel

???? Learn how to play “Heartbreak Hotel” by Elvis Presley on acoustic guitar with just 3 easy chords: E, A, and B7! This beginner guitar lesson is fun, simple, and perfect for campfires or jamming at home.

???? You’ll not only pick up the chords, strumming pattern, and song structure—you’ll also hear a little history about Elvis and how this 1956 hit helped launch the King of Rock and Roll!

???? “Here’s the cool part—those same three chords (E, A, and B7) aren’t just for Heartbreak Hotel. They’re the foundation of the 12-bar blues, the style that inspired Elvis and almost every rock-and-roll song that followed. If you loop E for four measures, A for two, back to E for two, then B7–A–E–B7, you’ve got yourself a classic blues jam. That means once you learn this song, you can jam for hours, make up your own lyrics, or even trade solos with friends. It’s like unlocking the secret key to rock, blues, and beyond!”

If you’re new to guitar or just want to add a classic to your campfire playlist, this quick lesson is for you.

???? Grab your guitar and strum along!

Here;'s the lyrics to the best of my findings:

Well, since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
Down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely, baby
I'll be lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could cry

Well, although it's always crowded
You still could find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

They'll be so, they'll be so lonely, baby
Be so lonely
They'll get so lonely, they could die

Well, now, if your baby leaves you
You need a place to dwell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street
To, Heartbreak Hotel
You'll be so lonely, baby
You will be lonely
You'll be so lonely, you could die
