Note from the author:

This tab is keeping it simple, having only A chords in the verses. 
I put the chords where Etta James puts the emphasis with her singing, 
so if you strum the chords and let them ring out they sound right. 
You can play the song however you like, personally I play it with 
12 Bar Blues Style strumming. Enjoy and let me know if you have 
suggestions.

Ultimate Guitar (Alienos)
