Buddy Holly - Everyday Tab

Buddy Holly and the Crickets
Everyday (1957)
(Buddy Holly/Norman Petty)
Now on: several Greatest Hits collections

In the original version, solo and outro are played on a celeste (a keyboard
Instrument sounding like a glockenspiel). For guitar, the solo looks
something like this:


Intro | D | D |
D    Bm  G              A
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
D     Bm     G             A
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
D         Bm        G       A       D
Love like yours will surely come my way
G        D     A
  A-hey, a-hey-hey

D    Bm  G              A
Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
D    Bm        G            A
Everyone said, go ahead and ask her
D         Bm        G       A       D
Love like yours will surely come my way
G        D     D(7)
  A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyday seems a little longer

Every way love's a little stronger

Come what may, do you ever long for

UPDATE

In Holly's recording the bass sometimes suggests different chords. Even
though I like the version above better, the original seems to run along
the lines of:

Intro | D | D |
D    Bm  Em             A
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
D     Bm     Em            A
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
D         Bm        Em      A       D
Love like yours will surely come my way
G        D     A
  A-hey, a-hey-hey

D        G              A
