Written by: Peter Green Album: Then Play On (1969) Nobody has posted this song yet. So I gave it a try and here it is :) The timing is difficult. Listening to the song a lot will help you to get the timing right. This is just the basic guitar parts. No solo :( Feel free to comment or correct. 'Baby, if you got to rock'
