'BUDDY HOLLY' By Weezer 
(Taken from the album Weezer) 
 
Transcribed by Will James  
         
Note: I thought the version sent in before was a bit wrong and hadn't been 
completed. This version is I think more or less correct with all the parts 
 
You need to tune down 1/2 a step 
 
 
[VERSE] 
Play this part twice with Fill 1 after the first time
