I Feel Like Going Home (Muddy Waters)

from the Muddy Waters album King Bee

tabbed by Kay-Uwe Graw on the 22nd of December 1999

Although Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) is the author and the singer of the song on this recording and a great slide player as well, Johnny Winter (also the producer of this album) played the slide guitar on this cut of the song because Muddy didn't want to play anything acoustic at this recording session.
