Carl Perkin’s Cadillac - Drive-by Truckers

Tuned down one whole step using a G progression. That’s how the band plays it

live.

Yes, the key is in F but the chord shapes are based on G. Basically walking

down

from G to Em in the verse, then C to Am in the bridge.

Please note the chord shapes listed here:
G 320033
Gsus2 200033
Em7 022033
Cadd9 x32033
G/B x20033
