Words of Love - Buddy Holly 

All that is done for the first part is picking each string during the chord. Something like:

    A (x02220@1)            D (xx0232@1)         E (022100@1)      3X
----------------0-0---2----------0---------|
----2--2--2--2--0-0------3---------0-------|
----2--2--2--2--------------2--------1-----|
----2--2--2--2-------------------------2---|
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|

Then this part I don't know the chords but its:

                    D (xx0232@1)          E--0----0---0---0-0-0----2----------0-----------| (022100@1)--10---5---2---5-0-0------3----------0---------|
----------------------------2----------1-------|
-----------------------------------------2-----|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|

A (x02220@1)               DHold (xx0232@1)me close and
 E (022100@1)           A (x02220@1)     DTell (xx0232@1)me how you feel
 E (022100@1)           A (x02220@1)     DTell (xx0232@1)me love is real
 E (022100@1)        A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)EMmm (022100@1)mmm mmm, mmm  mmm

Words of love you
Whisper soft and true
Darling, I love you
Mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm

and you just play A-D-E for the whole song except for
the little interlude part, which is just:

                                      X3
--0----0---0---0---0----0--0--0----------------|
--10---5---2---5---3----7--5--9----------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|

then (this part is somewhat awkward and could be wrong
but it sounds good):

                       D (xx0232@1)       E--0---0---0--0---0--0----2--------0-----------| (022100@1)--10--10--5--10--5--0------3--------0---------|
-----------------------------2--------1-------|
----------------------------------------2-----|
----------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------|

you could try playing it like this if it works better for you:


                       D (xx0232@1)       E--0---0------0------0----2--------0-----------| (022100@1)--10--10-----10-----0------3--------0---------|
----------9------9-----------2--------1-------|
----------------------------------------2-----|
----------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------|

A (x02220@1)             D (xx0232@1)Let me hear you say
    E (022100@1)            A (x02220@1)    DThe (xx0232@1)words I want to hear
 E (022100@1)            A (x02220@1)       DDarling, (xx0232@1)when you're near
 E (022100@1)        A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)EMmm (022100@1)mmm mmm, mmm  mmm

Words of love you
Whisper soft and true
Darling, I love you
Mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm
Mmm mmm

And that is pretty much it. Hope you have as much fun
playing it as I do!
