This is a Keith riff rocker. 
It was cut by Keith, Bobby Keyes (sax) and Jim Price (drums)
whilst waiting for the rest of the band to turn up.

go into open G (take the low E string off) tune to GDGBD 
(strings 5,4,3,2,1 respectively) put a capo on the fourth fret 
so that open string (00000) will be B.

CHORDS:  
B= 00000
B2= 02010
RIFF1 - BASED AROUND `E`
RIFF2 - BASED AROUND `E`
There are 2 riffs in the chorus. 
the  first riff goes like this (repeated twice)

------5-------5
5-5-6-5-6-6-6-5
5-5-7-5-5-5-5-5
5-5-5---7-7-7-5
5-5-5---5-5-5-5

THEN ITS THIS BIT (REPEATED TWICE)

0-0-----5---
0-0---5--5-
0-0-5-----0
0-0--------0
0-0--------0

the verse structure is all in B (open strings) and is the normal
rock`n`roll formula but it is adapted to open tuning -

0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-1-0-0-1
0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-2-0-0-2
0-0-0-0-0-0
