Route 66 Chords

This is John Mayer's cover of Route 66 from the movie Disney/Pixar movie "Cars". Its all
twelve bar blues in the key of G. Have fun with this tab.
 
There are pretty much just these three chords: G7, C9, and D9.
Here is the "jazz form" of these three chords that sound the best with this song.
    G7         C9        D9
e|--x----------3----------5---------|
B|--3----------3----------5---------|
G|--4----------3----------5---------|
D|--3----------2----------4---------|
A|--x----------3----------5---------|
E|--3----------x----------x---------|
 
The rhythm is more of a faster jazz rock in the beginning and goes to a slower bluesy
rhythm.
