I sure wish someone would answer your post! I worked Georgia out in a single string, single fret arrangement and the twangs and slides make it okay, but not great. Then, I tried it in Bb, harmonizing and such like, and it sounded too Hawaiian--not right for this song. Eb is too high. I'm out of ideas! I do love the song, though.

Here ya go, Rick. In G. This takes you through to the first ending. See if you like it, and if you think it's ok, I'll do the rest.
L means lower
R means raise
~~ means slur, or hold

p.s. There could be differences of opinion about chords, 'specially in the 4th bar. Some people go II-IVminor, which is cool too. I chose IV-bVII for this.
Some people also use an F#mb5 before the B7 in bar 2 (on the first syllable of the second "Georgia".) The four note chords, you can strike two string with one finger, or leave one note 'till after you've hit the other three.
Anyway, see what you think.

Edit: Changed the 6th bar a bit. Sounds better. This is a simple arrangement of it, hope it's ok.

Hey Cro' Bro'

Tout le plaiser et pour moi, mon frere.

Don't mind me, I'm just fooling around with the bridge....

Major rewrite at 9:40 local time. Please forgive and disregard the crap prior to that. Ha.
Watch carefully for the tildes (~~~) they are very important. Under construction.

Oh, this is gorgeous. I am learning so much. Thanks!

Perry Hansen · From: Bismarck, N.D.

Jeff Newman had a great tab for the song.

Adrienne Clasky · From: Florida, USA

Perry, was Jeff Newman's tab in E9 or C6?

Thanks.

Rick Garrett · From: Tyler, Texas

Thanks John!! This looks real good. I'm going to print it out when I get in from work today and give it a go. Also a big thanks to Jack Shults who is sending me the tab via regular mail. Man you forum guys are really great in helping us newbies. Thanks SO much!!

Rick

Adrienne. Jeffs version is in E9. I believe the course is Three Pedals, One Knee. It was on an LP.

Adrienne Clasky · From: Florida, USA

Thanks, Perry. I'm going to try to find it.

Perry Hansen · From: Bismarck, N.D.

Adrienne. The name of the course is two knees. My mistake. I have the ryhme tracks but can't find the tab. Bummer. It also has Blue Spanish Eyes and Panhandle Rag and others.

John Steele,

Please finish this thing off so I can get a decent night's sleep again.

Thanks,
Buddy Womack

John Steele · From: Renfrew, Ontario, Canada

RR,

LOL !

No problem - I'll do that. I thought everyone had found it elsewhere.
-John

John Steele · From: Renfrew, Ontario, Canada

Done.

Hope it's OK.

-John

RR Womack Jr · From: Wrens, Georgia, USA

Thank you John,

Looks good to me. I'll Try it tomorrow night. I appreciate it.

Thanks,

PS: You wouldn't be interested in doing
it in C6 would you?
