You can hear Buddy slide the open D chord up to E but at the end of the verses he plays open E almost skipping the A. Buddy had such a great sense of rhythm and timing. I read that Buddy Holly's mother partially wrote this song but was not credited. It was recorded at the Officers mess at Tinker AFB while Buddy was on a day off from touring. All the background vocals were added later. The drummer JI Allison was trying to play a beat similar to Little Richards Lucille and I think thats what makes the intro sound so great.
