Jesus Just Left Chicago chords by ZZ Top

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Jesus Just Left Chicago
Standard Tuning

You can get the turnaround and solo from other tabs out there. I think this gives
you a real easy to follow chord arrangement with lyrics.

The GuitarPro tab I looked at showed this song with 3 guitars. I've played it with
two - one doing these chords, turnaround, and solo. And the other guitar doing the
basic blues shuffle.
