Duke Special - Freewheel
There’s 2 versions of this song as far as I’m aware, I think one is a 
radio version and the other an album version but I’m not sure. What I 
call the ‘album’ version is 3:55 long and the ‘radio’ version is 4:41 
long if that helps!
The ‘album’ version has the capo on the 3rd fret, the ‘radio’ version 
has the capo on the 2nd fret and doesn’t contain the Middle.
Anyway you should be able to figure it out. Great song. I’m fairly 
confident this is very right!

Duke Special - Freewheel

There’s 2 versions of this song as far as I’m aware, I think one is a

radio version and the other an album version but I’m not sure. What I

call the ‘album’ version is 3:55 long and the ‘radio’ version is 4:41

long if that helps!

The ‘album’ version has the capo on the 3rd fret, the ‘radio’ version

has the capo on the 2nd fret and doesn’t contain the Middle.

Anyway you should be able to figure it out. Great song. I’m fairly

confident this is very right!
