Johnny Verse Rythm:
           G                      C
Well, they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia
       G                       D
Said, "Steve you're way behind time
        G                        C
This is not Thirty-Eight this is old Ninety-Seven
G            D          G
Put her into Spencer on time."

Luther Solo: (I hate to say there is one part in here, where he slides, I've yet to
figure out exactly as he plays.  Everything else is correct, and when I figure that
part out I'll fix it.  He plays this part twice during the song and it's exactly the
same each time.  Throughout the solo, Johnny plays the same thing that he does during
the verse).
