I've been playing around with this tune tonight and can't seem to get a handle on it. I think I've got Compton's break from NBB's "20 Year Blues" down--at least a little--but my rhythm sounds all off. There's some hinky chord in there I can't get.....maybe I'm just tired, or I'm playing it right and can't hear it. I know there was a thread on this tune just recently but I can't get the Cafe's search feature to work tonight. I keep getting new posts no matter what terms I enter.
Anyone care to throw me a bone on the progression?

I remember the last thread on it. I don't think the progression was quite right. I had to add some B7's.
see what you think of this.

Verse:
Em
Em A D B7 Em
Em
Em A D B7 Em

Bridge:
A7 Em
A7 B7
Em
Em A D B7 Em

That's the ticket, Michael. It was the B7. Seems like that puts it right in line. Much appreciated.
