Feels like rain (J.J. Cale)


Basically this one is E chord for the most of the time (plus I tend to pull of from 2nd string 3rd fret to 2nd string 2nd fret at the end of a bar, or something like that):
[E]It feels like rain fallin' on my pillow

Then a walk up G, A, B, D... back to E, for this bit:
It feels like [G]storm [A]cloud [B]over[D]my[E]he-ead

The intro walks up the Em pentatonic, from open low-E to high-D (2nd string 3rd fret) almost two octaves up) and back to low E:
E G A B D E G A B D
E

[E]Brown dirt, [A]Mississippi bottom [G]land
[B]Pickin' that [A]cotton for the [G]man down the [E]street

[D][E][A][B][G][A]
[D][E][D][E]

[D][E] Beating down the pavement,[A][B][G][A] looking for a job

Gypsy Man (Sonny Curtis)

D ...
D D (stab of E at the end)

I'm a [D]gypsy man, on a [C]one-night [D]stand
I'm fit to be [C]loved by [A]you
I'm with a [D]gypsy band, just [C]travelling the [D]land
They'll be leaving in the [C]morning, I'll be leaving [D]too
Things like [G]love don't tie me [F#m]down
I just [Em]spread my love [D]around
Like [G]small change on [F#m]girls I don't [C]know

King City (J.J. Cale)

This one's a bit like the unknown early out-take of Drifter's wife. (Don't say I didn't tell you so!)

He apparently played it capo 2nd fret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQtbXl42zmo

"King City"

[G]I am walking to [B7]King city
[Em]Not a friend who I [C]know
[B7]I can see the lights now
[D]I can feel the city [C]glow

Well I'm [Em]walking to King [A]city
got my [G]straight walking [A]shoes
I'm [G]walking to King [A]city
got them [Em]hitchhikers [A]blues

the intro is something like this:
