 Gone Country - Alan Jackson --------------------------- (Bob McDill)

As a source I used the submission of: theTone@stpc.wi.LeidenUniv.nl

(theTone) of 20 Feb 1995. He explains that the riff is not the correct picking, so I looked

into it:


G                   

D              

C -----------|----------3---------------------------------------------| -----------|----------3-------------------------3-------------------| -------0---|----------0---------------------2---------------------0-| -0^2-------|------------------------0-----------------------0^2-----| -----------|----------------2^3---------------------3---------------| -----------|--3-----------------------------------------------------|

Play the riff between | and | 4 times. Use 3rd and 4th finger for

the G chord in the riff (3rd fret B and E string) and leave those fingers there

thru the whole riff.

Also play the G chord thru the whole song as follows: E A D G B

E
