(This but is only played by the guitar right at the end but play it every time if you like,
the harmonica does it with its own verison)

That's the basic main riff, it's 8 bar blues, feel free to fill it out with slides and
bends and stuff if you want.
There's various solos, at which point it changes to 12 bar blues with the chords: G7 G7 G7G7
C7 C7 G7 G7 D7 C7 G7 G7

In the recording I have, instead of playing chords the guitarist copies the bass and
does some groovy arpeggios, either way works though.
