Verse again

Piano Break

until i get more, you should get the idea of how the song is, after it says “Back from
the land of california to my sweet home chicago” ther is a little change of pace and
then it goes back to a verse thing,then a piano break, and then the solo by Doyle, but
they layout goes like this
