I have tried to put this out as accurately as possible for those to enjoy. It is based on the 12 bar blues but there are 18 bars. The following is what I feel is the whole melody of the song. I am going to number the riffs so when I put down the melody sections you will understand a little bit on how to play it when played with the original song. 1.
