Validation of "Blues at Sunset - Albert King

I can't find any recordings where I can clearly pick out the base chords for this song. The guitar music I picked up gives it a standard I-IV-V pattern in G. Is this correct for bass? Do I need to tune down? Anyone have the correct bass line?

Thanks,
 
Blues at Sunrise? 12-bar blues in F:

F Bb F F
Bb Bb F F
C Bb F C

(Seventh chords, you know...)

Basic riff is:

G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------3---3-5-3---|
E|1---------5-----------5-|


You can play the A as the open A if you'd like, but I like the meatier sound of fretting it, plus then you can slide into it now and then to grease it up a little.
