NOTE:  This is VERY rough and simplified.  Think of it as the "fake book" 
version.  I am sure it's played in Open E though.  There is a tab guitar 
book covering all of the Crossroads box set (which I don't have) that I 
know has this note for note.  If you want the real thing, buy the book.

Robert Johnson-They're Red Hot
Copyright Wikipedia "They're Red Hot" is a song originally performed and written by blues musician Robert Johnson. Notably, it is one of very few songs recorded by the bluesman that is not based around twelve bar blues. It is based on a common ragtime chord progression. Unlike some other Johnson songs, only one recording of this song exists. It was also performed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik: the band reportedly recorded this song outside of The Mansion on top of a hill at two in the morning. The song was also covered by Eric Clapton, featured on his 2004 homage to Johnson, Me and Mr. Johnson. American jazz vocalist Cassandra Wilson recorded her own version on her album Belly of the Sun (however, the song appeared under the title "Hot Tamales") . Richie Kotzen also has his version of this song on his Bipolar Blues album. Lyrics: Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale I got a girls, say she long and tall She sleeps in the kitchen with her feets in the hall Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale, I mean Yes, she got'em for sale, yeah Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale She got two for a nickel, got four for a dime Would sell you more, but they ain't none of mine Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale, I mean Yes, she got'em for sale, yes, yeah Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale I got a letter from a girl in the room Now she got something good she got to bring home soon, now Its hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got em for sale, I mean Yes, she got'em for sale, yeah Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got em for sale Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got em for sale (spoken) They're too hot boy!
