Type-O tuning from low to high (B,E,A,D,F#,B)

{ Ok, saw this one on tv; MTV-HBB Type-O special from
  The Blues House in New Orleans. It wasn't exactly
  CD-sound, but I think I got it pretty accurate. }


Intro-riff
{ Top bar is keyb/organ (live played an octave higher);
  Low bar is dist. guitar }

Verse-riff
{ I suggest to strum/play it clean,
  to let the chorus come out heavy
  I don't know if Kenny playes the upper strings,
  but I can hear Josh ramble these up-chords on keys
  an octave higher than written here. }
