NOTES: This is a catchy little blues shuffle from
Eric's "Money and Cigarettes" album which
was released in 1983. This song has three
guitars playing - two doing the blues riff
patterns and one playing the licks and fills.
The chords and blues riff are tabbed here,
but I haven't tabbed any of the licks.
Here are the different blues riffs in the song
(play them during the appropriate chords):
"E" Riff "A" Riff "B" Riff

* At each of the spots with an "A*" both guitars play
two quick A-chord stabs.
Intro: play "E" Riff alone 4x, then 2nd guitar
joins in with chords.
