	Verse 2:
	Band is jumpin' and so am I
	I'm just groovin' can't stop movin'
	Barman's got that old, evil eye
	Well he's just waitin' cause we're celebratin'

        Chorus:

	Guitar and Piano solo:-too much for me to tab but
	           a few hints. Call and answer licks are
                   on the E chord centered around 3rd and
                   twelfth fret.

	Verse 3:
	Look out the door beside that tree
	That's my pony lookin' after me
	Front feet doin' the shuffle back feet too
	Love them good old Georgia Blues

	Chorus:

	If you don't have the Allman Brothers "Brothers
		 and Sisters" with this song on it, go
                and buy it, you'll be glad you did.
        Arlen Roth's book "Traditional, Country and Electric
                   Slide Guitar" published by Oak is a good
                   instruction book for this style of playing.
