Chords

You can get the turnaround and solo from other tabs out there. I think this gives you a real easy to follow chord arrangement with lyrics. The Guitar Pro tab I looked at showed this song with 3 guitars. I've played it with two - one doing these chords, turnaround, and solo. And the other guitar doing the basic blues shuffle.
