Nice song by Rayland.....

*phonetic blues included*


Standard tuning, capo on 3rd fret

song uses only Em   B7   C7   Am

...and he inserts a hook throughout...

Relative to capo

B7 = x212ox
C7 = x3231x



Here's one version of the hook he plays with the Em....Baxter plays around with 
different slides and bends and hammer/po's of the basic hook....
