I _think_ that you can pretty much just get away with chords here. Anyway, that's all I know how to do at this point. If anyone figures out any little lead parts to spruce this up, let me know.

I hope it's more or less accurate. Sorry about the lack of the solo. I may get around to it, I don't know. BTW, I have also started Mr. Bluesman from this album. I know the basic chords, etc. Basically enough to go on _except_ I don't know the solo. E-mail me if you'd like to see what I've got so far. Correction, etc. (especially the addition of the solo) are strongly encouraged. Enjoy Matthew M Holladay [email protected] ------------------------
