Too Much Stuff ? By Delbert McClinton
Album - One Of The Fortunate Few
Transcribers: Lewie Tupper (Me), Patrick (my guitar teacher)

Standard tuning, no capo. Key of G. There's a piano intro before this.
This is all our own work. My guitar teacher Patrick (great guy),
figured most of this out, I only made a few minor changes. There are
some little licks at the end that I am still figuring out, but I will
post them as soon as I do. These are the chords used throughout the
song. The verse uses the standard 1-4-5 12-bar blues with the 5th of the
5th. The chorus does some wacky 4-4-1-1-5/5-5-1-1 progression. If you
