Willin' - by Lowell George
All verses are to be played with the chord voicings from the INTRO.
All choruses are to be played using the chord voicings shown in the first CHORUS.
**Please note the flowing chords in the intro: "G C D C G."
Each time this pattern appears in the song it is played the same way it is
played in the intro. Instead of playing a standard C D C you simply play a "C"
then slide the pattern up two frets for a "D," then back down two frets for
the next "C."
