Loan Me A Dime by Boz Scaggs

From his self titled album, Boz Scaggs, the song Loan me A Dime was written by Fenton Robinson and first recorded in 1967. I've substituted the "Jimi Hendrix" dominant 7th sharp 9 chord, the E7#9 for the E7 in the turnaround (the last two bars in the progression).

Here's a recent video where he performs the song in Gm.
