Carl Perkin's Cadillac - Drive-by Truckers

Tuned down one whole step using a G progression. That's how the band plays it live.

Yes, the key is in F but the chord shapes are based on G. Basically walking down 
from G to Em in the verse, then C to Am in the bridge. Please note chord shapes tabbed here:
