Thanks for all the responses to my previous Muddy posts (Rock Me). This is a real classic covered by at least EC on his latest album 'From the Cradle'. EC plays it with a capo on the fifth position, other people don't. To make it sound right or at least stand a chance you will need a good harp player like in 'Rock Me'. I have tried to minimize the body of text and listed the lyrics to verses 1, 2 and 3 together above the chords of the 1st verse. Just memorize them until people can wake you up in the middle of the night and your first words are 'The gypsy woman told my mother...' and you are ready to roll ;-) In fact, you can't be reading from a piece of paper during a gig now can you? Later this week I will try and find time to type in the tab. Have fun,
