Buddy Holly and the Crickets
Everyday (1957)
(Buddy Holly/Norman Petty)
Now on: several Greatest Hits collections

One of my all time favourite songs. If you want to know what this tab sounds like,

In the original version, solo and outro are played on a celeste (a keyboard 
instrument sounding like a glockenspiel). For guitar, the solo looks 
something like this:

SOLO (no capo: Eb)
(played two times)
 Eb (x43121@3)     Cm (x3101x@1)     Ab (xx1114@1)    Bb (x1333x@1)     Eb (x43121@3)    Cm (x3101x@1)     Ab (xx1114@1)    Bbe|11--------------|----------------|11--------------|----------------| (x1333x@1)B|11--11----------|1313131315--13--|11--11-----11---|1313131311--9---|

The song is in Eb, so I'd suggest using a capo either 1st fret (play: D) or 
3rd fret (play: C). Even with capo you can still play the solo as it doesn't 
go below the 8th fret.

Here's the first version:

UPDATE

In Holly's recording the bass sometimes suggests different chords. Even 
though I like the version above better, the original seems to run along 
the lines of:

Capo 1st fret
