D-----------10--8h10---| A----------------------| E----------------------| 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!
