     I had posted this before, but it never made it into ftp.nevada.edu, so I
don't know how far the posting got.  I see, though, that someone else has a
transcription there, but mine's transcribed from a different source.

				    Willin'
				(Lowell George)

Notes:
     I transcribed it from the version on Little Feat's _Sailin' Shoes_.
     - Standard tuning.
     - 4/4 time and 2/4 wherever the measure begins with an "!".

     Lowercase letters are notes (c b a), not worth tabbing.

Intro:

	|	|	|G(1)	|

			 |		     |
		I've been warped by the rain, driven by the snow;
		       |		|
		    I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know,
			     | | |G(1)	|
		    and I'm still       willin'.
			 |		  |
		And I was out on the road, late at night,
			  |		       |
		    I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight,
			  |	 |	|G
		    Alice, Dallas Alice.

				  |C(2)		   |D
		And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari,
		     |		       |G(1)
		    Tahachapi to Tonapah.
		      |			       !	 |C    |
		Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made,
		   |			      !		   |D
		    driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed.
	       |Tacet		  |c	 b	 a  |G(1)
		And if you give me weed, whites, and wine,
		   |		     |D
		    and you show me a sign
		   |		   |G(1) |
		    I'll be willin' to be movin'.

	(Intro) x2

		Well, I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet,
		    had my head stove in, but I'm still on my feet
		    and I'm still willin'.
		I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico;
		    baked by the sun every time I go to Mexico;
		    and I'm still...

		And I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari,
		    Tahachapi to Tonapah.
		I've driven every kind of rig that's ever been made;
		    driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed.
		And if you give me weed, whites, and wine,
		    and you show me a sign
		    and I'll be willin' to be movin'.
