Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips
------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Johnny Butt
This is probably the most thorough chord tab i've done to date. There's a couple
things to keep in mind:
1) Words not in parenthesis (/) are sung by Gladys
2) Words in parenthesis () are sung by the Pips
3) Words in brackets [] are sung by both'
4) There is a capo on the first fret
5) For those who want to know the actual chord names:
