@MrArtfreako The song is in E, so you use the major scale and go to the IV(4th) of the scale, which happens to be A, which lowcoal76 said already, but It's good to know the theroy for when you find a song in another key and you want to play it.
Once upon a time, I had an LP by Ike Turner called Blues Roots and there was a version of this song on it entitled "But That's Alright".
Mean Blues tune. And this version is outstanding. Definitely the same lyrics but I have been trying to get my hands on any media copy of Turner's Blues Roots. He plays a totally different style of this but it's just as mean. I used to have this damn CD too, but misplaced it somehow. Buddy Guy on acoustic twelve string singing and playing with Wells!
lol afro american....it's ok to say black still i think....but i completely agree from the blues in north america to raggae in the carribean to the more tribal style still alive in africa - just straight to your soul type music, love it! (ps i'm a white south africa/chinese mix if anyone wondering - NO BIAS)
I did a tribute to Jimmy Reed. An animated short film of 74 seconds with newly recorded music. You can watch the original artist on my channel, too. (under favorites)
It doesn't get much better than this.

This was recorded in France sometime in the early 80s I think and is called Alone and Acoustic. A top shelf recording!
