The rhythm chords for the verses are the same chords used in the intro above. Listen to the recording as there are slight variations in the way this funky rhythm is achieved. I have placed the chord names at the spot where the chord changes occur. Also, for the chorus I have included an optional harmony line. When I perform this tune with my band "Rock Slide" my other guitarist plays this line. The Allman Brothers added this line in several of their live performances as well. I have noted the left hand fingering at the bottom of each passage. In order to play the lines cleanly you pretty much need to use all four left hand fingers. (At least I do) LICKS PLAYED OVER CHORUS Play 4x over C9 Play 2x over F9
