I had posted this before, but it never made it into ftp.nevada.edu, so I

don't know how far the posting got. I see, though, that someone else has a

transcription there, but mine's transcribed from a different source.

Willin'

(Lowell George)

Notes:

I transcribed it from the version on Little Feat's _Sailin' Shoes_.

- Standard tuning.

- 4/4 time and 2/4 wherever the measure begins with an "!".

Lowercase letters are notes (c b a), not worth tabbing.

Intro:

| |

| |

| | |G(1) |

| |

I've been warped by the rain, driven by the snow;

| |

I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know,

| | |G(1) |

and I'm still willin'.

| |

And I was out on the road, late at night,

| |

I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight,

| | |G

Alice, Dallas Alice.

|C(2) |D

And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari,

| |G(1)

Tahachapi to Tonapah.

| ! |C |

Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made,

| ! |D

driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed.

|Tacet |c b a |G(1)

And if you give me weed, whites, and wine,

| |D

and you show me a sign

| |G(1) |

I'll be willin' to be movin'.

(Intro) x2

Well, I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet,

had my head stove in, but I'm still on my feet

and I'm still willin'.

I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico;

baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico;

and I'm still...

And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari,

Tahachapi to Tonapah.

I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made;

driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed.

And if you give me weed, whites, and wine,

and you show me a sign

and I'll be willin' to be movin'.
