Melissa by The Allman Brothers Band chord (text):From: "Andy King, CK27362@uafsysb.uark.edu"
Subject: Melissa, Allman Bro's
I haven't picked out the tab for the lead for Melissa but here is the chord
progression as close as I can get to what Greg Allman plays. The F#m7 and
Emaj7 are a pretty good stretch until you get used to playing them, but they
get easier. Note the two forms of C#m. The first form is played throughout
except in the line 'Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on' in the chorus.

I have some preferences on the playing of the _chords_ in 'Melissa' that
differ a bit from his, which I think you'll find easier to play (and maybe
even sound better):
(excuse the lack of rhythm & timing, but I think you can figure it out)
e--0----0----0----0--/--0----0----0----0----0----0----0----0----0----0--

E--3----0---/---0---------x----x----x----5-----------7----0--
This song is REALLY meant for a 12-string -- with all that open-string
resonance, it really rings!
Hope this gives you more of what you're looking for!
