[Intro]
 
Don't really know how to transcribe this. The bends go up two semi-tones.
One probably needs a light set of strings. Or maybe there is some other
country technique at work that I don't know about. Comments and corrections
are highly welcome!

This is not how it's played. I just used slides instead of the bendings.
I think this makes it a little clearer.

[Intro]
| G | D | G | % |
 
[Verse 1]
    G              C               G
Oh, just because I asked a friend about her
G              D                  G
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
       G                G7           C
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
C/B C/A   G          D          G
You know, she thinks I, I still care
 
[Verse 2]
    G              C                  G
And just because I haunt the same old places
                                         (same old places)
          G             D            G
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere
       G                 G7          C           Csus4 C
Just because I’m not the happy guy I used to be
     C/B C/A   G          D       G
Lord you know, she thinks I still care
 
[Middle 8]
      C                               G
Well, if she’s happy thinking I still need her
      A7                              D
Yeah, let that silly notion bring her cheer
    C                        G
Oh, how could she ever be so foolish
        A7                                D
Tell me where did she get, Lord, such an idea
 
[Verse 3]
G              C               G
Just because I asked a friend about her
         G              D                  G
You know just because I spoke her name somewhere
       G              G7                  C
Just because, Lord, I saw her and went to pieces
      C/B C/A   G          D       G
Lord, you know, she thinks I still care
 
[Outro]
      G          D       G
Lord, she thinks I still care
               G          D          G
Lord you know, she thinks I, I still care
         G          D       G
Oh Lord, she thinks I still care

Howdy! I'm a few years late, but "With her memory I will linger everywhere" seems like it should be "Where the memory of her lingers everywhere". Going off of context clues here + it sounds like what Elvis is singing, just with a heavy drawl. Not saying that the contribution is bad by any means, just seems a little off with the lyrics. Hope this helps slightly lol EDIT: It's actually the case in the George Jones version's lyrics as well.
