     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.

     Tablature for intro and verses:

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'.
