Only Changing Drugs Stuart Davis
This is a simplified version that just gives the basic chord changes so that one can
play it through from start to finish. Youâ??ll probably need to have a listen to get the
rhythm right. Thereâ??s some lead guitar between the verses that I have not included here
but it sounds like itâ??s just a matter of messing about in the Eminor blues scale. Enjoy!
