Subject: CRD/LYR: Buddy Holly....Weezer

Here is a cool song my nephew wanted me to help him with. I only heard this
a couple of times, so I did not get the 2nd bridge part down, maybe one of 
you guys can finish it off! It's a start.  PLAY IT LOUD!!! Best...Mark      

                            Buddy Holly
                            -----------
Verse [1]
F#                               G# A     
What's with these homies dissin' my girl
A
Why do they gotta front
F#                           G# A  
What did we ever do to these guys
A
That they get so violent

[PRE-CHORUS]
D                 C#m       F#  
Ooh Ooh, But you know I'm yours
D                 C#m        F#    
Ooh Ooh, And you know you're mine
D                  Dm                            
Ooh Ooh, That's why I-I do... ??  (tough line to understand) 

[Chorus]
A                    D              E
Ooh Wee Ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
A                 D         E
Uh oh, and your Mary Tyler Moore
F#                     D E A
I don't care what they say about us anyway,
A     D     E        A
I don't care about that

Bridge [1]
Play F# G# slide A  under Riff#1
Riff[1] (maybe a synth, but sounds good on the guitar)

E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------
G ------------13-11--------------------------13-11---------------
D --11hp12-11-------12p-11-9-11----11hp12-11--------12-11--------
A --------------------------------------------------------12-12--
E ---------------------------------------------------------------

Verse [2]
F#                                  G# A
Don't you live up here, I'm always near 
A
I know that you'll be there
F#                                         G# A
You're tongue is twisted, You're eyes are slit
A
You need a guardian

Play  Pre-chorus & Chorus Again

Bridge [2] (This is the part I didn't get yet that needs work)

It's mostly just A E F# E  with a litte run...  (the trick is to barre the 
F#, and let the E openby letting up your index finger. When I get a chance I 
will fix it, unless someone gets to it 1st!

Bam Bam, knock on the door

Better stay back, get down on the floor

Oh no, what do we do

Don't look down but I lost my shoe

I can't run and I can't kick

What's the matter babe I'm feelin' sick

Whats-A-matter, whats-A-matter, whats-A-matter, You

Whats-a-matter, Babe I'm feelin' blue

Solo....Chorus..
