That is the structure for the verses. Along the way, a lot of little
blues leads get thrown in. I don't know all of them, and I'm not going
to try to show where every one of them fits in. What I do know is that
they are usually part of an F blues scale (I think the song is in the
key of A and this is one of the related scales that you can use to
construct leads). Here are a few examples of the leads:
Example #1 Example #2 Example #3
E-|------------7b8.5rb7----7---|--12b14vvvvrb12-|----------------0--|
B-|-----7--10-----------10--10-|----------------|-7-7-5---3-3-2--0--|
G-|-6-9------------------------|----------------|-7-7-6---4-4-2--1--|
D-|----------------------------|----------------|-------------------|
A-|----------------------------|----------------|-------------------|
E-|----------------------------|----------------|-------------------|
Example #4
E-|-----14----14----17b19vvvvrb------------|
B-|-s14----14----14------------------------|
G-|----------------------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------11sss7-|
A-|----------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------|
That should give you some idea of what I mean. They seem to all
be parts of the F blues scale all over the neck. I'm not going
to try to tab all of them or I would go nuts, miss a bunch, and
make this tab much, much longer... And it's starting to get pretty
long as is.
Solo (over the Verse structure, I think)
