----------------------------------------------------------------------------- K.C. Jones (On The Road Again) - North Mississippi Allstars ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Alex Schwer Email:alexschwer@live.com Album: Shake Hands With Shorty Tuning: Open G Key: G major Sidenote: It's hard to differentiate between who's playing what in this song. I know that Cody plays the acoustic (and sings) as well as Luther. So i think there's two acoustic guitars being finger picked at the same time, and also a piano which follows the riffs. The song itself is based on just two chords - G throughout the verse and then to C during the "On the road again..." part, and then back to G. This is a good starting point to what's being played. Listen to the record and find a pattern that works for you. There's also good video of just the two of them playing it acoustically on youtube at a radio station, check it out.
