Done Got Old - Chris Dorgan (Junior Kimbrough Cover)

Love this song, sounds a bit weird me singin bout bein old but i tell ya when those hangovers kick in...i do haha.

im pretty sure it was junior kimbrough who wrote this but nearly everyone under the sun who loves the blues especially the mississippi hill blues has covered this song so thought i wud give it a go. I couldnt find any tabs, so i jst got some of the lyrics and tried to work something out combining the buddy guy versions, junior kimbrough and the heartless bastards, and so what you hear is what i came up with. To save energy detuning the guitar or anything i jst played it all round A which also made it quite easy to sing....
i did a few takes so may post a second version, dependin on whether i think this version is good enough haha!

hope you enjoy it, listenin to the black keys and JK (junior not the other one from the UK) changed my style of playing guitar so, i hope it influences u guys in a good way!

Sorry it took so long merry christmas and all, kid, who broke the time capsule and let you out, you got chills going deep here, where your soul is at in this song is so deep seeded you could scare hell outta crossroaders like i use to be, keep it strong, dont let anyone or any thing deter, and when you play, keep playing with that same heart felt style

keep it bluesin and keep it flowin out
