Rave On  Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly
"Rave On"
The other "Rave On" tab is quite horribly incorrect, so I decided to try throw one up
so I've reason to believe this tab is reliable.
Where am I unsure (or have improvised a touch), I will point it out so that you can
ignore or work around what I've suggested.

Note 1: I'm not certain about the octaves here, however I figure since they are
accented notes, you might as well add a little harmony to it.
Note 2: Again, octaves for a snazzier sound. Suits the piano as well.
