Recorded in 1958
Now on: “Down The Line - Rarities [CD 2]”

Holly's guitar is tuned flat, somewhere between E and Eb, but he plays 
in A, his favourite shapes. So if you want to play along to the recording,
you'll have to tune down a little.

[Intro]
| A | C#7 | D | E |


[Verse]
A             C#7      D    A
There comes a time for ev'rybody
D         E                   | A | D  D E7 |
When true love will come your way
A             C#7      D    A
There comes a time for ev'rybody
D                E                       | A | % |
That's what they tell me, that's what they say


[Middle 8]
  F#m
I didn't hear them say a word
   E7                   A
Of when that time would be
  F#m
I only know that what they say
    E                 E7
Has not come true for me


[Verse]
(part)
A             C#7
You just keep waiting 
    D                   A
And love will come your way
D                E7                       | A | E |
That's what they tell me, that's what they say     1 + 2 +
D                E                         | A D | A A A A
That's what they tell me, that's what they say
