Awesome riff follows a fairly standard 12 bar blues pattern in G.

The solo is mainly on the Gm pentatonic. Fairly easy to get close but difficult if you 
it exact. Comment if you want me to tab it.

If you were whiskey and I was a diving
I was a diving, I was a diving duck
If the river was whiskey baby and I was a diving duck
OOO I would dive on the bottom
Baby and I'd never come up

You know the sun gon to shine here in my back door
In my lonesome back, Y'know in my lonesome back door someday
The sun gonna shine in my lonesome backdoor someday
You know the wend gonna rise up
And blow my natural blues away

Let me be you sidetrack baby, Honey to your mainline
To your natural main, to you natural mainline girl
Let me be your sidetrack, baby to your natural mainline girl
I'm a dole rolling daddy
Roll you from sun to sun


Solo


Put your arms around me baby like a circle around the sun won't you
Do me pretty mama like your easy rider done
Won't you put your arms around me baby,
honey like a circle around the rising sun
Won't you do me pretty baby
Like my easy rider done

If the river was whiskey and I was a diving baby
I was a diving, I was a diving duck
If the river was whiskey baby and I was a diving duck
OOO I would dive on the bottom
Baby and I'd never come u

I'd dive on the bottom
Baby and I'd never come up
