As I felt to sing those memories of BB these days, I noticed that there are no real tabs around. So let's
make BB proud. The thrill is not gone and we need to keep that goddamn blues alive! #GodIsRock, Chris
Recommendation: Don't play as usual in Blues the B7 and G7 as a standard chord. Play them in 7th and 3rd bar
as Eric does.
Key: B7 (Blues - mixolydian)
BB and Eric are playing B- Blues scale most of the time, while BB keeps in his BB-Box.
Intro: A7|A7|B7|B7|
Vers 1:
B7I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid.

B7A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll.
No pretty chick is gonna make me E7crawl. B7
Chorus 1:
G7Get on a TWA to the promised land. F7 E7

Vers 2:

Where you can get your prescriptionE7 filled. B7
Chorus 2:

End (spoken by BB King chords going on.../solo guitar played by Eric Clapton):
I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold.
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die.
E7Don't you know we're riding with the kiB7ng? E7
E7Don't you know we're riding with the kiB7ng? E7
E7Riding, you're riding with the king.B7 E7
E7 B7 (originally fading out)
You're riding, you're riding with the king.
instead of fading out, you can of course end on B7 oder B7#9.
