    This is a short acoustic fingerstyle blues ditty written by Tom
  Toulouse Street. From what I could gather, the tuning for the song
  is: EADGAD (I could be wrong, but it sounds right).
    The guitar is also capoed on the first fret. All finger positions
  are relative to the capo.

                       (bpm=108)  1:35

  Acoustic guitar, tuned EADGAD, capo 1 (Rhythm figure 1)

    * Go back to rhythm figure 1 and play to fadeout


  Note: I don't know how it was done, but it almost sounds like there
        is a second guitar playing a percussive part under the main
        guitar part. I tried to emulate it the best I could with the
        picking pattern.
