    Me and the Devil was walking side by side
    I'm goin' to beat my woman until I get satisfied

    She say you don't see why that I will dog her 'round
  • It must be that ol' evil spirit so deep down in the ground
     
    You my burn my body down by the highway side
  • You my burn my body down by the highway side
    So my old evil spirit can get a Greyhound bus and ride
     
  • The above is a very easy way to play that Robert Johnson song.
    For a more detailed transcription I would recommend:
    Scott Ainslie's "Robert Johnson complete guitar transcription".
  • It's NOT a book for beginners!
