Version 1 Version 2The song is a 12 bar blues in D. The pattern is essentially: I I I I IV IV I I V V I I with a small twist. Any bar that comes before a I (the D chord) is descending 4 chord pattern of D C G F. In this case, it is the 2nd bar, the 6th bard and the 10th bar. The intro is just the 1st 8 bars.
