This is pretty crude, but is sounds good additions/corrections welcome. Previous post of the lick is included at the bottom. There are no CRD versions of this song on the archive that I could find. -Rick (use bar chords for GAB)
[Verse 1]
EmGEmG Bourbon Blues, on the street, loose and complete EmGEmG Under skies of smokey blue -green A I cant forsake a dixie dead shake EmGEmG So we danced the sidewalk clean BA My memory is muddy, what?s this river that I?m in? B Hey New Orleans is sinkin, man A And I dont want to swim
Back to Em/G shuffle for second verse
Play an A for the yelp (AHHHHHH-HAAA)
From ?Pale as a lightbulb...to I swear to GOD she said? do the Em/G shuffle
then repeat the ?A? for the AHHHHHH-HAAA yelp
then EmGEmG, then
BA My memory is muddy, what?s this river that I?m in? B Hey New Orleans is sinkin, man A And I dont want to swim
Back to Em/G to close

I'm not really sure if this is correct, but this is how I play it: The main riff looks like:
This riff changes alot in the song and I only tabbed one of these variations. Note also that this riff is played much more quickly than the main riff. The best way to figure out how it is to be played is to listen to the disk. I play the main riff a few times and then throw in the other one every now and then. Sorry I don't know the solo. I didn't have time to write out the lyrics. Corrections and comments are welcome.
