Song title:       Not Fade Away
Original Album:	  The Chirping Crickets

Words and Music by Buddy Holly & Norman Petty
Copyright © 1957 Brunswick Records
Published by Brunswick Records

Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net)


NOTES:
Reportedly, the last song Buddy Holly ever performed, the night before 
that fatal plane crash. It became a major hit for the Stones in 1964.
Some of you will be more familiar with the Stones' version of the riff
but listen to the original. Timing is 4/4.
