---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday Night Special - Lynyrd Skynyrd ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tim (timmy3125) Email:w8n2ski@wi.rr.com Tuning: Standard (EADGBE) What an awesome song this is, there are already some solid tabs out there, but not of the entire song, end to end. So I decided to do this song end to end and I hope it helps, rate it if you like it, and enjoy!
