Everyday Lyrics

Buddy Holly and the Crickets
Everyday (1957)
(Buddy Holly/Norman Petty)
Now on: several Greatest Hits collections
One of my all time favourite songs. If you want to know what this tab sounds like,
check out my version here:
In the original version, solo and outro are played on a celeste (a keyboard
instrument sounding like a glockenspiel). For guitar, the solo looks
something like this:
SOLO (no capo: Eb)
(played two times)
|1. time
|2. time OUTRO (no capo: Eb)
The song is in Eb, so I'd suggest using a capo either 1st fret (play: D) or
3rd fret (play: C). Even with capo you can still play the solo as it doesn't
go below the 8th fret.
Here's the first version:
Intro | D | D |
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said, go ahead and ask her
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Solo (see above)

Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Love like yours will surely come my way
Outro (see above)
And number two:
Intro | C | C |
Verse1 | C Am | F G | C Am | F G |
Verse2 | C Am | F G | C Am | F G |
Middle 8 | F | F | Bb | Bb |
Verse1 | C Am | F G | C Am | F G |
Solo 1 | C Am | F G | C Am | F G |
Solo 2 | C Am | F G | C Am | F G |
Middle 8 | F | F | Bb | Bb |
Verse1 | C Am | F G | C Am | F G |
Outro | C Am | F G | C F | C G C
UPDATE
In Holly's recording the bass sometimes suggests different chords. Even
though I like the version above better, the original seems to run along
the lines of:
Intro | D | D |
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said, go ahead and ask her
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me
Everyday it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
