Tabs
Allman Brothers Band - Midnight Rider
Transcribed by Matt Unger
This is my first tab, so I didn't use proper spacing or anything like that.
I don't play the main riff as a single note riff but I think it sounds more
like the recording this way. I've added the solo as well because I can't
find it anywhere. Questions, corrections, requests and complaints are all
welcome. E-mail me at [email protected]
