Here is my instrumental version of "The Girl of My Best Friend" by Elvis Presley.
I am playing it on my 50's series Fender Stratocaster through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. I always recommend earphones; preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

It has also been covered by Ral Donner in 1960 (No.19 U.S.), Johnny Burnette in 1962 and by Bryan Ferry for his 1993 covers album Taxi.

Lyrics
The way she walks
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can't help I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend
Her lovely hair
Her skin so fair
I could go on and never end
Oh, I can't help I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend
I want to tell her
How I love her so
And hold her in my arms, but then
What if she got real mad and told him so
I could never face either one again
The way they kiss
Their happiness
Will my aching heart ever mend
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend
Never end
Will it ever end
Please let it end
