Here is Scotty Moore’s interesting electric guitar pattern, which basically
adds a 6 and a 9 to the major chord in the first half of the verses.
No capo!

[Verse]
C                    C
Breeze, sing a happy song
              C                      C
This heart of mine is singing right along
                     C    C7                    F     Fm
Don't know where I'm going, don't know where it ends
                  C       F           C
Till the grass is greener, beyond the bend
 
 
[Verse]
C               C
I haven't got a care
C                        C
I'm just on my way to anywhere
             C      C7              F     Fm
Pocketful of nothing, nothing I can spend
                  C       F           C         C
Hope the grass is greener, beyond the bend   (break)
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am                     Em
Beyond the bend, perhaps there'll be
         Am     D7               G
Somebody waiting who's right for me
 
 
[Verse]
   C              C
So I got to move around
C                            C
And I know I've got to cover ground
                C      C7              F     Fm
Oh, the trip is shorter when you got a friend
                C      F           C         C
Gotta find that rainbow beyond the bend   (break)
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am                     Em
Beyond the bend, perhaps there'll be
         Am     D7               G
Somebody waiting who's right for me
 
 
[Verse]
   C              C
So I got to move around
C                            C
And I know I've got to cover ground
                C      C7              F       Fm
Oh, the trip is shorter when you got a friend
                C      F           C
Gotta find that rainbow beyond the bend
