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.
