Can't Help Falling In Love Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Can’t Help Falling in Love guitar chords chart by Elvis Presley. Wow, what an absolutely beautiful song.
This song is written in 6/8 time so we will be counting to 6 and I when I play this song, I prefer to use finger picking. I will also be using a capo on the 2nd fret for this version.
This song has a large collection of chords including open chords, 7 chords and the F barre chord. I would put this song a bit more in the late beginner to early intermediate level.
