--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Buddy Holly Demo, recorded in the mid to late 1950s Now on "Down The Line - Rarities" Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: soprano C (a little flat) Hello ukulele players! I originally submitted this as a guitar tab but UG automatically added my submission to their ukulele tabs. I now edited it a little and hope it works for ukulele, too. The tuning of the original recording is somehow in between keys but - as has been pointed out in a comment - it is most likely played using A major shapes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | A | D E E7 | A | D E E7 | [Verse 1]
