An old classic of the 50s. The great Telecaster player James Burton actually came up with that guitar part and played it on the record when he was only 18 years old.  James went on to play with Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Emmylou Harris and many other great performers. (This precision was added by Jack from Boston)

Tabs of this song can be found  but not complete. The bass strings are muted (E then A) and played with a pick while the other notes are played with the middle finger except where noted.

A MP3 demo can be downloaded from here :

On the demo a second guitar can be heard but only as ornament here.
The basic chords are Em, Am B7 and C.
