Gene Vincent - Be Bop A Lula Chords & Tabs

One of the best songs of all time with lyrics of the 'it's so bad it's good' kind 
of variety. The song goes in a pretty typical "A, D, E" pattern, but it's really 
fun to play! It peaked at #7 on the Pop charts and #8 on the R&B charts. A lot of 
people thought it was Elvis recording secretly for a different label, including 
his bass-player.

If you're having trouble understanding this tab, I'd suggest you to play this 
while listening to the song. If that doesn't help, I either did something wrong or 
you need to practice some more. It's a pretty easy song, I'd suggest this for beginners!
