Woke up this morning (J.J. Cale)

kicks off with: E... A G E

For the vocal parts, it is just G and E, G and E, G and E...
[G]I woke up early this [E]morning
etc.

Then for the rest it sounds like just E (bass line is something like E E A B   E E A B)

Santa Cruz (J.J. Cale)

This goes approximately like this:
Em | G A | ... endlessly.


Except for the "Well we didn't play long it booed too soon" part:

[A]we didn't play long it [Em]booed too soon
etc.
ending with:
[A]I thought we had played his [Em]favorite song[B]

Wish I Had Me A Dollar (J.J. Cale)

This  simple number only to be found on the multiple disc collections, AFAIK. Like The 3CD Collected or the 2CD Anthology.

This one's a 12-bar blues in D:
DDDD
GGDD
AGDD

Again, most eveident through the V-I bass line.

The solo takes off going back and forth between C and A notes (on the B-string 13th and 10th fret) and then landing on the 12th fret B. So basically I guess you could say the solo is in D mixolydian.
