    This is a short acoustic fingerstyle blues ditty written by Tom
  Johnston It can be found on the Doobie Brothers' 1972 recording
  Toulouse Street. From what I could gather, the tuning for the song
  is: EADGAD (I could be wrong, but it sounds right).
    The guitar is also capoed on the first fret. All finger positions
  are relative to the capo.

    * Go back to rhythm figure 1 and play to fadeout


  Note: I don't know how it was done, but it almost sounds like there
        is a second guitar playing a percussive part under the main
        guitar part. I tried to emulate it the best I could with the
        picking pattern.

=====================================================================

       h= hammer on
       p= pull off
       ()= ghost note (sometimes barely audible notes, optional)
       b= bend
       r= bend release
       /= slide up to note
       \= slide down to note
       ~= vibrato
       t= tap note with picking hand
       = harmonics
       *
       *= repeat from beginning
