So I know its in key of C. I am wanting to know if this is the verse progression for BB King.

C C7 F Fm C Am7 Dm7 G7 C F7 C7 G7

I am a bit unsure about the 2nd to last chord C7.

I can't find a recording of Witherspoon. But if someone has that chord progression, let me know.

Please don't respond with "just listen and figure out by ear".. I tried that... and sometimes I am wrong.. Just want some verification...

I finally found my Spoon's version. It was on one of my Evidence compilation CDs. I found it easier to find the chord tones on Spoon's version... I think what I have is correct.... Good enough for the blues jam...

Did you ever figure it out? I think that second to last chord is just a C, not a C7.

Great performance here:
