* - let these ring (duh, listen to the CD) =)

Turnaround -

P.S. Listen to the CD for timing, because the G/C, C/F part above is standard es but then after the C/F section, the G/C riff is played only three times instead 4

At the turnaround, after the G/C riff is played three times -

E ------------------------------------------------------------------- B --2--------1------------------------------------------------------- G --2--------0------------------------------------------------------- D --2--------2------------------5-----5------3-----3-----3---3------- A --0--------3------3p0-------------------/5---5-4---4-3---3--------- E ----------------------3----3-----3---------------------------6^--3-

^ - bend quarter/half, whichever makes you feel better. or use this:

E ------------------------------------------------------------------- B -2--------5-------------------------------------------------------- G ------------------------------------------------------------------- D -2----/---5---------------5-----5------3-----3------3-----3-------- A ------------------3^----------------/5---5-4---4-3-----3----------- E -----------------------3-----3------------------------------6^---3-

That's the basics for the whole tune - now just get that G Blues scale down pat and get ready to do some fancy blues pickin.
