Cheatin Woman chords by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Guitar chords with lyrics

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 E minorEm chords are

      arpeggiated during the verses. Listen to the song and you

      should be able to figure it out.

The solo is in E minorEm 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.

Outro

--------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
