I declare that this file is all my own work.
Standard Tuning
Chord Progression:
NOTES: Chords designated as "8" chords are played stuccato, root
and octave only. The 
G+G to 
G7G7 turnaround and the omitted 
FF measure
before the chorus is my own arrangement.
The 
E minor 7Em7 in the chorus is my own arrangement. I play it very subtly
the first time then romp on it the second time while also singing more
gravelly and with more intensity.
This is the basic song structure only. The last chorus has a slight
change that you can easily figure out based on this info. Make up
your own ending. I end with "More" on an FF chord then I do the down
climb sliding between the chords (root and octave diads) ending B, D,
then a 
C majorC Maj. chord arpeggio. Have fun!
STRUMMING: Bluesy 3/4 time strumming on the downbeat (1) then strumming on
the "and 3 and". The chord on the 3 beat is usually stuccato and
the chord on the "and" of the 3 beat is usually played with the
fingers in transit to the next chord off the strings. Listen to the
tune and you'll have no problem getting the strumming.
Each chord instance below designates one full measure with the above strumming.
