Rio (JJ Cale)

OK, I am (olympic) game, I'll give this timely song a try:

It's a 12-bar blues in D#m:
D#m D#m D#m D#m
F#m F#m D#m D#m
G# F#m D#m D#m

And the 8-bar bridge is:
F#m D#m F#m D#m
F#m D#m D#m D#m

The intro slide appears to be between the 4th to b3th in the key of C#. Like sliding from 5th to 7th and back on the 2nd string.

The solos appear to be from C# minor pentatonic.

....And if it ain't, just let me know, as usual! :D
