MELISSA (by Allman Bros.; covered by Indigo Girls)

[E=022100; F#m7(4)=x44200; Emaj7=066400; A=x02220; Bm=x24432; Amaj7=x06654;
Cmaj7=332000 or x35500; A(9)=577600; B(4)=799800; C#m=466544; B=x24442.]
[I'm not sure how to finger the chord I listed as B*. You could try
x24440 or x24442. I usually play B5 (2244xx), because it's easy.]

RHYTHM:
Amy's part has a rhythm like this through most of the song:
("V" is a loud strum, "v" is soft.)
V v V v V V V V v v
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -
TAB:
[T is the 10th fret; E is 11; W is 12. I did this so that the spacing
would still make sense.]
[An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on or pull-off; a tilde (~) is a bend.]
["9E" or any other numbers right next to each other are just a fast
hammer-on.]
