Notes: 
 
1)  The original composer was Huddy Ledbetter, and many singers 
have adapted the song.  This particular version is a combination of  
Ledbetter's version (verses 1, 2, 3) and Van Morrison's version (Verses 4, 5). 
 
2)  The sixth verse is a repeat of the Chorus except for the final chord progression  
(the C and G chords from previous  
chord progressions are switched around to end the song) 
 
3)  The F7 chord can be replaced by an F maj 7 chord  ( F-A-C-E, with low E and A strings damped out) 
 
4)  The chord progression at the end of each verse is one chord a beat  
 
5)  Some versions will cut out the Chorus a few times.
