The song is a typical blues tune in the key of C. So during the first 8 bars of the vers
can easily mess around and play all sorts of licks in the key of C, before it changes
F and G.
Listen to the song and you'll get it :)
Chord changes:
C
Well, I fly off the handle a little too quick,
Just call me a nervous man.
For the last week or two, it don't take too much,
To make me wanna raise the sand. Yeah...
F
Well, it's one of those days,
When you`d rather not be,
G
So low down and dirty,
Your luck's out at sea.
Good luck with this awesome tune!
