Verse:

Listen to the song for the cadence, it's a pretty typical country/blues chord cadence.

Every Friday night there's a steady cloud of dust that leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks

Verse: same as above

NO prechorus section for the second chorus

Chorus: this chorus has a double last line: "ain't no closing time..." twice as above

The end "solo" is:

e|--------------------------8------------------5----|
BB|-----------------------8b---8rb--------------5----|
G+G|----7b-7-7-7-5b---5b------------7b-7b-7b-5---7b---|
D MajorD|-s7-------------7----7---------------------7------|
A augmentedA|-s7-----------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------|

This bit is pretty improvised, so listen to it carefully for the bend releases and timing. All interlude
bits not included here are just easy riffs in the A augmentedA pentatonic scale which is:

e|---------------------5-8-|
BB|-----------------5-8-----|
G+G|-------------5-7---------|
D MajorD|---------5-7-------------|
A augmentedA|-----5-7-----------------|
E MajorE|-5-8---------------------|
