THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!! A COMPLETE TAB OF LUCKY MAN!!
This song is in the key of B minor Aoleon. IT IS TUNED IN Eb TUNING-(down a half step) I
using a 12-string guitar just as skynyrd, I do and it sound fantastic! I admit, some
are not perfect, but this is to the best of my ability.

Okay. The verse is the same as the intro, but you hold those Bm? chords, no 12 string
over them. Do this for 3 verses, the fourth is:
Em----Em----Gmaj---Amaj---- Then
I'd find an open space for me to live out all my dreams
Em Gmaj Amaj
Then the chorus, which is as follows. *note, the guitar is kept in time, the singer
I think about 1/4 measure before the repeat of the chorus.
Lucky man Strong man Tear Weaker \/
Dmaj (7th fret) A Bm G /\ 2 times
Then there is this
Iremember all the things that I been through
EM Amaj
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
Em Gmaj Amaj Amaj
Here is the fun!! the first Rossington lead.
The backup for here is as follows:
Dmaj (7th fret) A Bm G
The lead is this: *not in time with the chords above*

Repeat the verse and the chorus.
Repeat the chorus but DO NOT SING IT. This is the fun part for us guitarist, the 2nd
for Rossington. you repeat the ENTIRE chorus as the back up for the guitar and piano. the
is as follows: * If you want to try to figure out the piano, it is in Dm Aoleon.*

Piano
Then you do the chorus as follows:
Lucky man Strong man Tear Weaker \/
Dmaj (7th fret) A Bm G /\ 2 times
then you do this :
Im a lucky man, I've given all I can
Dmaj Amaj Bm Amaj Gmaj
Gary lead over the above, it is as follows

Now is the very ending, you repeat the intro 1 time, then play the verse over and over
you fade out. Hughie Thomasson played lead here; And it is on the Bm Aoleon scale, very simple.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS SONG VERY MUCH, JUST AS I DO!! Please watch Bobbycook13 on
