Tempo: Moderato

beat which surges through this song. As shown below.

Notes:
1. The 'Alternate Take' of "Highway 49" is nearly a minute longer than the
original recording. This version has considerably longer Instrumental Breaks and
the Lyrics differ.
2. Herbert Sumlin's rhthym playing, as heard on this track, creates a unique under-
current. 'Much missed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Sumlin

Apologies, re Note 2. it should read 'Hubert Sumlin'. Here's some of his unique finger-style picking, that he is best remembered for that evolved from his days with John Lee Hooker - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPCPm0FPNk8#t=59
