Standard Tuning



Chord Progression:

NOTES:	Chords designated as "8" chords are played stuccato, root
	and octave only. The G to G7 turnaround and the omitted F measure
	before the chorus is my own arrangement.

	The Em7 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 F chord then I do the down
	climb sliding between the chords (root and octave diads) ending B, D,
	then a C 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.
