"Rock Around With Ollie Vee" by Buddy Holly

Tabbed out by Adam Trampe

Intro:

|9---9---9---9---9---9---9-------|12--12--12--12--12--12----------|
|10--10--10--10--10--10--10------|14--14--14--14--14--14----------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|


|5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---|5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------|
|3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---|4---4---4---4---4---4---4-------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|


|----5---------------------------|----5-------2---5-2---5---------|
|------------5---3-5-----3---5---|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|

Verse/Chorus:  He uses 4 chords, each is a bar chord: A major(5-7-7-6-5-5--),
D major(X-5-7-7-7-5), D b9(X-5-7-8-7-5), and E major(X-7-9-9-9-7-----------),.
He only hits the top three or four strings, though. Anyway, the chords over
the verse and chorus are like this:

                  A
Well, we're gonna rock to the rhythem and the blues tonight,
D                              Dflat 9               A
rock 'cause everything's gonna be alright. 'Cause tonight,
            E                           A
we're gonna rock to the rhythem and the blues.


Repeat it three times, (2 verses and another chorus), and then there's this
solo (It's just the intro played twice, the first time is just an octave
lower.  But I bet you already knew that.)

After this there's just some more verses and stuff thats already here.  So
that's it.  It's easy but it's kinda fun to play.  And for everyone that
thinks this is a piece of crap, you're probably right cause this is my
first time posting anything.
