Sweet Home Alabama tab by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Tabs

The two versions I could find are good, but they both miss
some parts. So here is the complete song, unfortunately
without the solo, but I am working on it. I don't know if that's
the exact way to play it, but it sounds good so have fun with it.
(Roli)

There are different ways to play along the verses and the chorus. I
actually use all of them to make the song sound more exciting and they
are also good to play the song with two guitars. The first possibility
is to repeat the picking of the intro.The second one is just to play the
chords like that and add one of the little licks each time before you
start over:
|---------2----|-----------0-----|----------3------|
|---------3----|-----------1-----|----------0------|
|---------2----|-----------0-----|----------0------|
|--0--0---0----|-----------2-----|----------0------|
|--------------|---3p0h3---3-----|----------2------|
|--------------|-----------------|---3p0h3--3------|

The little licks are as follows:
       Lick 1      Lick2               Lick3
|------------------||------------------||-------------------||
|------------------||------------------||-------------------||
|-------------2p0--||0-0-2p0-0-4p0-0-5b||----0-----0-----0--||
|-----2p0h2--------||------------------||0h2---0h2---0h2----||
|-0h2-------2------||------------------||-------------------||
|------------------||------------------||-------------------||

The third possibility is as follows:

|--------------|--------------|-------------|-------------||
|--------------|--------------|-------------|-------------||
|--7--7--7--7--|--5--5--5--5--|-------------|-------------||
|--7--7--9--7--|--5--5--7--5--|--5--5----5--|----5-5-5-5--||
|--5--5--5--5--|--3--3--3--3--|--5--5----5--|----5-5-7-5--||
|--------------|--------------|--3--3----3--|----3-3-3-3--||




the tab is great but i had a little correction on the part inbetween the
verses and the chorus.

Sweet Home Alabama tab

This was the second hit single for the band and is today the most played song by Lynyrd Skynyrd. These Sweet home Alabama guitar tabs are for the original version released in 1974. Band member Ed King got the song in a dream and soon after showed it to the band who liked it a lot.

The guitar you can hear on the track was an old 1972 Fender Stratocaster. It was poor at the time so they had to turn up the volume at max to get the sound from it. The Fender is now on museum. It might me worth mentioning that none of the three writers to the song, as seen in the Sweet home Alabama guitar tabs below, where from Alabama.
