************************************************************
This song is played with a swing feel throughout.
The first part of the song is in C majorC and modulates to D MajorD starting at the end of the guitar solo.
The E7#9E7#9 chord in the first Bridge can be replaced by an E MajorE or E minorEm chord and the Gsus13 by a a G13G13
or a basic G+G)
The A7A7 chords in this song work best with the open G+G string as the 7th, like this: -X-0-2-0-2-0
The G7G7 works best like this -3-X-3-0-0-3 or as a barred G7G7 chord. Both 7th chords can be substituted
for a basic major A augmentedA and G.
