Tuning: Standard
The song is a 12 bar blues in D. The pattern is essentially:
I I I I
IV IV I I
V V I I
with a small twist. Any bar that comes before a I (the D chord) is descending 4 chord
pattern of D C G F. In this case, it is the 2nd bar, the 6th bard and the 10th bar. The
intro is just the 1st 8 bars.
