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 
F5 and G.
Listen to the song and you'll get it :)

Chord changes:

C5
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...
F5
Well, it's one of those days,

When you`d rather not be,
G5
So low down and dirty,

Your luck's out at sea.


Good luck with this awesome tune!
