I used to play this, but no longer have my notes or a copy of the song (always liked the version w/Johnny Winter And better than his solo version). Anyway, here's what I just plucked out from memory - adjust key as necessary, and jam on it. #--------------------------PLEASE NOTE--------------------------------# # This file is the author's own work and represents his interpretation# # of the song.
