Pony Boy by The Allman Brothers Band
Pony Boy
This song is in open E tuning and I believe
the right hand part is fingerpicked while the
the left hand is a combination of open string
notes, slide guitar and harmonics. You will
have to listen to the recording to figure it
out. Here is the tab to the basic parts
of the song and the rest is up to you as they
say. My apologies for any errors and if anyone
has any corrections please email me at
dmeta@quadro.net
This is just a barebones tab as it is hard to
notate all the slide pulloffs, hammerons,etc.
but it should give you a general idea to what's
happening.

Verse 2:
Band is jumpin' and so am I
I'm just groovin' can't stop movin'
Barman's got that old, evil eye
Well he's just waitin' cause we're celebratin'
Chorus:
Guitar and Piano solo:-too much for me to tab but
a few hints. Call and answer licks are
on the E chord centered around 3rd and
twelfth fret.
Verse 3:
Look out the door beside that tree
That's my pony lookin' after me
Front feet doin' the shuffle back feet too
Love them good old Georgia Blues
