Tuning: Standard
The song follows a blues pattern. As far as I can tell, the guitars do not
play the 3rd, so strictly speaking the chords are A5, D5 and E5 (see tab).
I put the basic chords with the lyrics for novice players. These chords,
however, aren’t really played, the accompaniment is mostly riff (see tab).
Only here and there, there's an organ playing the actual chords and from
the organ one can tell that all the chords are actually major chords and
can be played as A7, D7 and E7. Playing the riff and singing at the same
time is more of an intermediate job.
