• Song:

    Elizabeth Reed

  • Artist:

    Allman Brothers Band

The song is in standard tuning, and is played with light distortion. Have fun kiddos.

All right, the song starts out with a few chord changes…little something like this:

Am9                  Am7             Am9                Bm7/A
E|----7----|         E|---5---|       E|----7----|       E|---7--|
B|----8----|         B|---5---|      B|----8----|       B|---7--|
G|----9----|        G|---5---|       G|----9----|       G|---7--|
D|---10---|         D|---5---|      D|----10---|       D|---7--|
A|---------|         A|-------|       A|---------|        A|-------|
E|---------|         E|--------|       E|---------|         E|-------|

You can just listen to the actual song to get down the rhythm of the chord changes. Pretty easy.
-Then comes the lead guitar part which breaks in part way through the chords above.

After that, its just Am7 and D7 chords back and forth for the rest of the song. 
Hafta listen to the actual thing to get down the rhythm. Kinda tricky at times,

s - slide
fb - full bend
hb - half bend
r - release bend

Hope everything works out for ya. If not, let me know. Thanks.
