                Don't Come Back Knockin' - Buddy Holly
E|E|E|----------------------------

E|----------------------------------

E|-------------||| 

Written by: Buddy Holly/Sue Parrish
Early version of the song, recorded 
in Wichita Falls, TX, December 7, 
1955
Now on: "Down the Line - Rarities 
[CD 1]"

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

This is what I could figure out. The
 chords are of course not always 
plain
major chords, sometimes you have to 
add the 7 or 6. The solos are not
exactly what Holly plays but it's at
 least close. I can't really make up
 my
mind whether the guitar on the 
recording is finger-picked or not. 
In this
case some notes add themselves 
naturally to the main line I tabbed 
below.

Even though there are some 
imperfections here and there, I'm a 
little
dissatisfied with bar 10 of G  O 1. 
I hear two notes played 
simultaneously
there but I can't figure out how to 
play them. Must be some special
Rockabilly voicing that I just don't
 know. Do you? Comments and 
corrections
are highly welcome!
