Originally played by James Carr
The structure is different here. I find the build up in the end better with an additional chorus. I feel like
the song deserve it. I also added additional chords that change quite rapidly. So be aware, or just run
through the song a couple of times :)
Enjoy
The vocal starts off the song. And the rest joins in on the first D chord.
