Buddy Holly — Brown Eyed Handsome Man Chords

This song is on Buddy Holly's 'Reminiscing' Album
released in 1963 and it hit the top 5 in the UK.
 Chuck Berry wrote & recorded BHM in 1956 and hit the charts
with it in 1957. 
 That same year Buddy Holly did a 'cover' version of BHM.
 I've seen Chuck Berry play this in Key of Eb...Waylon Jennings
did it Key of D...Buddy Holly in E. And everybody has a different intro..
so pick what you like. KK.
