With a chromatic tuner it's approx. Minus 30 for all the strings

In the 'Bo Diddley' coda riff in the live version there is an E to A,

On the original record Joe just stays on the A chord.

Verse 1
A                            G          E
   In the night there are sights to be seen,
A                            G          E
   Stars like jewels on the crown of a queen,
D                             E            (E7)
But the only sight I want to view... (Wah - oo!)
              A         D        A     E   E7
...Is that wonderful picture of you!


Verse 2
A                      G          E
   On a streetcar, or in the ca - fe,
A                           G              E
   All of the evening, and most ...of the day,
    D                            E          (E7)
My mind is in a maze, what can I do?  (Wah - oo!)
       A                  D        A
...I still see ...that picture of you!


Verse 3
C#m              Bm     C#m            Bm
    It was last summer,     I fell in love,
C#m            Bm        C#m   E  E7
 My heart told me what to do,
A                          F#m
   I saw you there on the crest of a hill,
       D                                 E
...And I took ...a little picture ...of you!

Verse 4
A                               G            E
   Then you were gone, like a dream in the night,
A                                 G               E
   With you went my heart, ...my love, ...and my life,
    D                                 E          (E7)
I didn't know your name, what could I do?  (Wah - oo!)
      A           D         A    E
...I only had a picture of you!
