Subject: CRD: Cheatin' Woman -- Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ronnie VanZant - Gary Rossington - Al Kooper
From Lynyrd Skynyrd Nothin' Fancy Album
Tabbed by David Moser creole_cat@yahoo.com
 
Note: The rhythm is played on electric piano and the Em chords are
      arpeggiated during the verses. Listen to the song and you
      should be able to figure it out.
The solo is in Em pentatonic, very slow with those jabs and stabs
Lynyrd Skynyrd is famous for.
The outro is a dual guitar lead up at the 12th, 15th & 17th frets.

I think this pretty close. There are a lot of very intricate nuances
to this song and one may have to improvise some of the fills and the
lead parts. It is a great song by a great band. Improvements are
welcomed and encouraged.
