Guitar Chords: Roy Orbison "Go Go Go (Down the line)

[Kiwi Phil]

My 14yr old still learning the guitar, and likes 3 of the Big "O's" songs.
He can't find the chords for "Go Go Go (Down the line)" on the internet, or anywhere.
Anybody got them?
He does have the lyrics.

(His other favourites are "Claudette" and "oh Pretty Woman" which he is learning off by heart.)

Cheers
Phillip

i sure ain't the music pro. in the past i've learned a few songs w/o any written out chords..... i useually start by playing just one note as the song progresses, just changeing the one note to follow the music. use the note that sounds good...... after that, i turn it into a chord and try it. after that, ya can turn them into minors or 7 chords or whatever variation sounds likeable.....
ya do have to tune yer guitar to the same pitch as the record.
after ya learn the chords ya can change it up or down in pitch by half steps or whole by useing bar chords or a capo to adj. the chords to easy ones, ie. e, a, c......

Classic 50's chord progression.
E# A# B/A#
E/E/E/A/E/B/ E and so on...only 3 chords

Well, I don't know about that E#...

I listened to a cool you tube video of it from a 78 and it is definitely in E just like Spinner said (E,A,B). Sounds like all natural chords, too...

Check out this one with the lefty on the ground fiddle...

Is E# like G double flat?.... ​

If G is double flat, wouldn't it be baroque?
