I first heard him in 1966 on "Tupelo Mississippi Flash" - from that time I was hooked on him. I have been a fan ever since and got to meet him twice over the years and saw him in concert in 1982 in Georgia. He gave me a Gator belt buckle which I still own to this day and have many photos of him - plus two of me and Jerry together! Great memories.
Jerry did this version in the key of A. The riff he added there is a four step chromatic drop to the root. So the chords are C B Bflat A. and to get the full effect you have to play a high A note with each chord. It gives a very sweet melencholy feel. Good stuff!
