THAT'LL BE THE DAY (Buddy Holly, Norman Petty, Jerry Alison) ------------------------------------------------------------ [Unfortunately, I only have a recording of the Linda Ronstadt version of this song. But from a book in the library, I learned that Holly's original version used these chords with a capo on the fifth fret, so it was actually in A. Ronstadt's is in F, so use a capo on the first fret.] [Holly's version also includes this easy and cool riff:] |--------0-----0-----0---|-----h2---2-------------| |----------0-----0-----0-|----------0-------------| |----3/4-----3-----2-----|1---0h2---2-------------| |------------------------|2---0h1---1-------------| |------------------------|2---0h2---2-------------| |------------------------|------------------------| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye That'll be the day, when you make me cry You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause [stop] That'll be the day when I die Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye That'll be the day, when you make me cry You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause [stop] - That'll be the day when I die Well, you gave me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin' All your hugs and kisses and your money too You know you love me baby, still you tell me, baby That some day, well, I'll be through Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye That'll be the day, when you make me cry You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause That'll be the day when I die [guitar solo] - [guitar solo] Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye That'll be the day, when you make me cry You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause That'll be the day when I die When Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart So if we ever part, and I leave you You kiss and hold me, and you tell me boldly, well (?)
