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:
|<1> |<2>
|<3> |<4>
|<5> |<6> |G(1) |
|<1> |<2>
I've been warped by the rain, driven by the snow;
|<3> |<4>
I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know,
|<5> |<6> |G(1) |
and I'm still willin'.
|<1> |<2>
And I was out on the road, late at night,
|<3> |<4>
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight,
|<5> |<6> |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) |<6>
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'.
