xHey guys! This is a really killer song based off of a simple 12 bar blues progression.
Ive edited and reposted the other tab to make the appropriate corrections, unfortunatly
have no idea who the original author of the tab is, so credit should really go to him
most of it...he just had one chord half wrong! (key of E major has F#s)
Just so its clear, F#5 is a power chord on F# or the second fret of the low E string for
tab guys!
You CAN use F#m instead but i find the power chord sounds a little more authentic
here it is!
