The Wonder of You – Elvis Presley

“The Wonder of You” was originally written by Baker Knight and first released by Ray Peterson in 1959. It was recorded and released by many other artists before Elvis Presley released his version in 1970.

It’s a well-known and easy to play song, I hope you enjoy the letter notes 🙂
