Trivia: In 1970 Johnny Winter joined Rick Derringer's
band, The McCoys. More precisely, apparently, the
McCoys became Johnny's band. It was to be called
"Johnny Winter and The McCoys". They named the
album "Johnny Winter And", and that became the name
of that band. Rick Derringer identifies this song
as a single from that album. It was first recorded
with Johnny on vocals. Later, Derringer recorded it
(and sang it) in his solo band.

Notes
 Second guitar matches the riffs one octave down
 Bassline matches the riffs two octaves down (I think)
 Verse riffs: Playing the g-string @ 14th fret --
  those notes can be played by sliding up or bending up
  into them from a lower fret. You can hear this on
  the recordings.

 In Verse Riff 1:
  On the 12-10 (D-string, 2nd measure) slide hand position to
  also pick the 10 (C note) with first finger
  On the 12b(14) (2nd measure) the b(#) = bend up to that note #
   -- or you can also do a slide-up (--12/14--) instead of a bend.

 In Verse Riff 2:
  On the 12-10b (D-string, 2nd measure) slide hand position to
  also pick the 10 (C note) with first finger
  b = slight bend
