--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't Come Back Knocking - Buddy Holly --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Buddy Holly Don't Come Back Knocking (1955) (Buddy Holly/Sue Parrish) Now on: "Down the Line - Rarities [CD 1]" 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 especially dissatisfied with bar 10 of SOLO 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! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, Fwhen you went away and left me all alone FWhile you played around, I waited at home Don't come back Bbknockin' at my heart's closed doFor Or I Cwon't be home, dBbon't call and knock no mFore
You Fhad all my heart, was your very own You Fweren't satisfied, now I'll go on alone Don't come back Bbknockin' at my heart's closed doFor Or I Cwon't be home, dBbon't call and knock no mFore
