Cover of Susanna Hoffs |
Rumor has it that the title of the song, Eternal Flame was inspired by the eternal flame that burns for Elvis Presley at Graceland. The recording by the Bangles, a popular all-girl group, reached no.1 on the charts.
The song was written in 1988 by Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly and Susanna Hoffs. You'll find lots of chord charts online for the bangles song. I like this one. Here's what I'm playing:
