|Great song by underrated Rockabilly pioneer Dale Hawkins, |
|known for being the father of Swamp Rock (Suzie Q), and for |
|playing real raw Rockabilly. This however is a sweeter Pop |
|song, it's great, it's played very much like Ritchie Valens' |
|"Come on, Let's Go", and the background singers borrow from |
|Buddy Holly's "I'm Gonna Love You Too". |
| |
|This is only the third song I'm learning by ear, so I can't say |
|that this is the way it goes 100%, but it feels good when I play |
|it, and I have re-written it a couple of times. The thing I'm |
|most unsure of is the lyrics after you sing about his girlfriend |
|with the shape of a balloon, it's hard to hear what he sings there. |
| |
|Please come with suggestions/critique or whatever, and rate it if |
|you want to! |
| |
|Enjoy! :) |
