I see different answers about what key this Butterfield song is in. Can someone possible give a definite key and perhaps post tabs for the song?

The version on "An Offer You Can't refuse" is in F. The version on "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - An Anthology: The Elektra Years" is in G (like the original, Little Walter version).

On the live record (C harp) the riff is: 1B-1D-2D (twice, then) 2Dbb-1D-1B-1D-3Bb-2D.
That´s the start of it. It ain´t very complicated as it goes on; but you have to master the 2-5 split, that comes a couple of time IIRC.

There are different reasons, but the two most common are for a change of pace, and also because as you get older, your vocal range DOES change and for male voices, you lose the top end of the range, but in return, you get a more expanded lower end that you couldn't do when you were younger and this change becomes noticeable about every 5 years and it's a fact of life you cannot change and every vocalist goes through that. Many female voices go thru something similar, but with some, they get more high and lose low end of their ranges.
What I'm telling you not only comes from personal experience, but something I've found to be true with nearly every vocalist I've come in contact with over the years. Also how well you take care of your voice becomes a huge factor so if you were to listen to any artist of ANY genre over a 20 year span and listen to their vocals VERY CLOSELY, you will notice the change, but it will be very subtle and as they get older, it does become more noticeable.
When I opened for William Clarke a few months before he passed, his guitar player told me he had to learn all the tunes in all 12 keys because he would purposely change them to make sure people were on their toes paying close attention 24/7 and not just falling into automatic pilot on everything

Collected this:
"...William Clarke...his guitar player...had to learn all the tunes in all 12 keys because he would purposely change them to make sure people were on their toes paying close attention 24/7 and not just falling into automatic pilot on everything"
