      There are few classic Southern Rock tunes that I enjoy, and
      this is one
      of them. It's an awesome tune. I would like to dedicate this
      transcription to Bruce Bryne, a former coworker, originally
      from
      Kentucky, who passed away circa 1997.
      He was a spitting image of Duane Allman, and was also in a
      motorcycle
      accident that same week!
      Bruce survived and had the scars to prove it.
      He was a drummer in his younger years who's band once opened
      for Heart,
      who was also starting out in the early 70's.
      Bruce was also a talented artist too. He drew for me SRV's
      "In Step"
      cover album in pencil, which hangs in my room to this day.
      Many have asked to buy it; it will never happen.
      Thanks for the memories, Bruce!

      The song is pretty straightforward. Nothing major to note.
      Listen to the song for exact rhythm of parts.

      Notation:  + = lower note full unison bend
              (7)= note held
            > = accent note
           * = full bend
            ^ = pre-bend
