The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post

      
 
 This is just mostly the first verse, but it gives an idea of the
 song's structure. I didn't like either one of the guitar solos so I
 didn't hack at them. They're in Am, of course. I include the bass line at
 some points.
 The chords are at Nevada but this elaborates further. Additions more
 than welcome.
