THAT'LL BE THE DAY (Buddy Holly, Norman Petty, Jerry Alison)
------------------------------------------------------------
[Unfortunately, I only have a recording of the Linda Ronstadt
version of this song. But from a book in the library, I learned
that Holly's original version used these chords with a capo on
the fifth fret, so it was actually in A. Ronstadt's is in F,
so use a capo on the first fret.]
[Holly's version also includes this easy and cool riff:]

Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause
[stop]
That'll be the day when I die
Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause
[stop] -
That'll be the day when I die
Well, you gave me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me baby, still you tell me, baby
That some day, well, I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause
That'll be the day when I die

Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye
That'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know that's a lie 'cause
That'll be the day when I die
When Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part, and I leave you
You kiss and hold me, and you tell me boldly, well (?)
That some day, well, I'll be through (?)
Well, that'll be the day, when you say good-bye
