        HOWLIN' FOR MY DARLING - Howlin' Wolf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Okay, I couldn't find this tab anywhere online so I worked it out (I think), and it
seems to match up with the song itself. This guitar part mirrors the rhythm, which I
think is
actually played on piano. Hope you have fun with it, and if anyone knows the little
noodle-y lead bits over the top then please comment! The notes in brackets/parentheses are
the  bass-line that runs between the riffs.

From thereon in, the VERSES and the rhythm on the BRIDGE/SOLO are the same as the INTRO,
 and the CHORUS is the same each time. You play the G+G rhythm to fade out at the end.
   Unfortunately I don't know the solo: if I work it out I'll add it to this tab, or
if anyoneelse knows it then please post it :)


Here are the lyrics:

INTRO:
Pretty baby. Come on home. I love you

CHORUS 1:
If you hear me howlin', calling on my darling! Oooooh! Oooooh!

VERSE 1:
She's hot like red pepper. Sweet like cherry wine
I'm so glad she love me. Love me all the time
She's my little baby, sweet as she can be
All this love she's got, do belongs to me

CHORUS 2:
If you hear me howlin', calling on my darling! Oooooh! Oooooh!

BRIDGE/SOLO:
My baby. Come on home. I love you. Come on home

CHORUS 3:
If you hear me howlin', calling on my darling! Oooooh! Oooooh!

VERSE 2:
Every time she kiss me, she makes the lights go out
From early in the morning, she makes me jump and shout
This bad love she got, makes me laugh and cry
Makes me really know, that I'm too young to die

CHORUS 4:
If you hear me howlin', calling on my darling! Oooooh! Oooooh!

END, FADE OUT:
Come on. I love you. Pretty baby...
