|Great song by underrated Rockabilly
 pioneer Dale Hawkins,           |
|known for being the father of Swamp
 Rock (Suzie Q), and for         |
|playing real raw Rockabilly. This 
however is a sweeter Pop          |
|song, it's great, it's played very 
much like Ritchie Valens'        |
|"Come on, Let's Go", and the 
background singers borrow from      
   |
|Buddy Holly's "I'm Gonna Love You 
Too".                             |
|                                   
                                 |
|This is only the third song I'm 
learning by ear, so I can't say     
|
|that this is the way it goes 100%, 
but it feels good when I play    |
|it, and I have re-written it a 
couple of times. The thing I'm      
 |
|most unsure of is the lyrics after 
you sing about his girlfriend    |
|with the shape of a balloon, it's 
hard to hear what he sings there. |
|                                   
                                 |
|Please come with 
suggestions/critique or whatever, 
and rate it if   |
|you want to!                       
                                 |
|                                   
                                 |
|Enjoy! :)
