YOU’RE THE ONE
Words and Music by Buddy Holly, Ray Corbin and Waylon Jennings
  1. You’re the one(A)  that causes my blues
    You’re the one(D)  I don’t want to lose

    You’re the one(A)  that’s a-meant(D) for me(A  1.  E7)  (to Verse 2)


  2. You’re the one  that I’m thinking of
    You’re the one that I’ll always love
    You’re the one sent from heaven above
    You’re the one that’s a-meant for me  (to Bridge)


    3. BRIDGE:  Some(E7)-times you make me feel so bad
    you make me cry(D) deep in my heart(A)

    who does(D)-n’t fit the part(E7)  (to Verse 3

  3. You’re the one and I want you to know
    You’re the one that thrills-a me so
    You’re the one I can’t let go
    You’re the one that’s a-meant for me
