You can use the same chords to play this song two different ways, one the original
key with the Riff and the alternative is with a partial capo II. It changes
the key but gives the riff and song a rich bass that might be nice in solo performance.

The lyrics are wrong. Nina sings “’yain’t comin’..yain’t comin back” which is a southern slang for he ain’t comin back
