Topic: 2 additional buddy holly tunes

I'm a buddy holly fanatic, and there are a couple other songs that I can't figure out the chords to.  I know most of his songs are incredibly simple, but I struggle picking out chords by ear alone.


Come back baby - can't find chords for this one anywhere on the internet

Have you ever been lonely - a great cover, the chords available on the web for this version vary greatly and don't seem accurate

Thanks in advance.  It's very nice to have found a place to request help with chords!

Come Back Baby:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tev7EnPNVg
It's in A, and the only chords I hear in the song are A, D and E.
Intro:  A - D - E - A - D - E
Chorus (example):
(A)Come ... baby, (D)baby ... back, (E) come ... me
(A) Now ... why (D)all ... cry, (E)baby ... me.
Verse (example):
Well ... all (A)night, ... you (A)left me
Nothin' ... (D)right, ... ol' (E)me

Have You Ever Been Lonely:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbMw37slKHU
This one was a challenge because the recording is really rough.  No guarantees of accuracy, but I think it's close.
It's in D, and the main chords are D, G and A.  You can embellish with D7 and A7 and sus chords if you want to.
Intro:  A - D - G - D
Have ... (G)lone(D)ly, have ... (A)blue ... (A)someone ... (D)you (G)(D)
(G)sorry ... (D)[@0:33*] ... (E)[@0:37*] ... (A)[@0:42*]
Be a little for(G)giv(D)ing, take ... (A)heart ... (A)living, while ... a(F#)part
(G)[@1:04*] ... (Gm)[@1:06*] ... (D)know ... (A)lonely ... (D)blue (G)(D)

* = I can't decipher the lyrics at these points.

Good luck with them.

Yes.  Yes I am.

LOL!  Just kidding.  (Couldn't resist - I'm not that arrogant.)  You're quite welcome.  Glad I could help.
