Zz Top - Jesus Just Left Chicago

jesus just left chicago
standard tuning

you can get the turnaround and solo from other tabs out there . i think this gives
you a real easy to follow chord arrangement with lyrics .

the guitarpro tab i looked at showed this song with 3 guitars . i’ve played it with
two – one doing these chords , turnaround , and solo . and the other guitar doing the
basic blues shuffle .
