Buddy Holly
Don't Come Back Knocking (1955)
(Buddy Holly/Sue Parrish)

Now on: "Down the Line - Rarities [CD 1]"


This is what I could figure out. The chords are of course not always plain
major chords, sometimes you have to add the 7 or 6. The solos are not
exactly what Holly plays but it's at least close. I can't really make up my
mind whether the guitar on the recording is finger-picked or not. In this
case some notes add themselves naturally to the main line I tabbed below.

Even though there are some imperfections here and there, I'm especially
dissatisfied with bar 10 of SOLO 1. I hear two notes played simultaneously
there but I can't figure out how to play them. Must be some special
Rockabilly voicing that I just don't know. Do you? Comments and corrections
are highly welcome!

   FF
Well, when you went away and left me all alone
FF
While you played around, I waited at home
        FF
Don't come back knockin' at my heart's closed door
   FF
Or I won't be home, don't call and knock no more


  FF
You had all my heart, was your very own
  FF
You weren't satisfied, now I'll go on alone
        FF
Don't come back knockin' at my heart's closed door
   FF
Or I won't be home, don't call and knock no more

Well, I found that you're a rover and it's made me blue

Like a talent scout you want a love that's new

Or I won't be home, don't call and knock no more

Well, pity those with hearts so empty and cold
  FF
To never know true love, a treasure to hold

Don't come back knockin' at my heart's closed door
   FF
Or I won't be home, don't call and knock no more
