The song is a typical blues tune in the key of C. So during the first 8 bars of the vers 
can easily mess around and play all sorts of licks in the key of C, before it changes 
F and G.
Listen to the song and you'll get it :)

Chord changes:

C
Well, I fly off the handle a little too quick,

Just call me a nervous man.

For the last week or two, it don't take too much,

To make me wanna raise the sand. Yeah...
F
Well, it's one of those days,

When you`d rather not be,
G
So low down and dirty,

Your luck's out at sea.


Good luck with this awesome tune!
