NOTES
1. This song is accompanied through with the style that is not unlike the Bo Diddley “hambone style”.
Ocsillating from the major chord to a variant by generally moving the topmost finger off and back onto
the string.
2. The rhythmic accent flourish, played by horns, at the Intro the end of the alternate verse lines,
is played down-down, down-up & down with respectively D = XX0232, Bm = Bm/D: XX0432 & D = XX0232.
You can also simplify this, by omitting the D string. This can be achieved by just using the fourth
finger to create the Bm/D formation, and leaving the D unchanged.
3. If this TAB is appreciated? I’ll TAB out the instrumental riffs, as well. :-R
