Then the vocals start, the rhythm guitar is played like described above. The turnaround
can be played sliding up the E major chord:

E F F# G B7
I----------------------------------1----|I
I-------0-----1------2-------------0----|I
I-----1-----2------3----4----------2----|I
I----------------------------------1----|I
I---2-----3------4------5--2-0-1-2-2----|I
I---------------------------------------|I


There’s no guitar solo, so all we need are the finishing 9th chords, which may sound a
bit too jazzy for this song (there are no other 9th chord used in this Blues!):


D#9 E9
I--6------7-----|I
I--6------7-----|I
