This is a Keith riff rocker.  
It was cut by Keith, Bobby Keyes (sax) and Jim Price (drums) 
whilst waiting for the rest of the band to turn up. 
 
 
go into open G (take the low E string off) tune to GDGBD  
(strings 5,4,3,2,1 respectively) put a capo on the fourth fret  
so that open string (00000) will be B. 
 
CHORDS:   
B= 00000 
B2= 02010 
RIFF1 - BASED AROUND `E`

There are 2 riffs in the Chorus.

Well I never kept a dollar past sunset, 
 
it always burned a hole in my pants. 
 
Never made a school mama happy, 
 
never blew a second chance on love.

when I can fly way back home.
