What to do - Buddy Holly
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Buddy Holly
Recorded in the mid to late 1950s
Now a bonus track on: "Buddy Holly"
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
More teenage troubles put into song by the inimitable Buddy Holly.
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.
The version below follows Buddy Holly's recording. Check out my cover
version, too. I tried a different approach there:
