Cherokee Boogie

---------------------

Performed by: BR5-49

Written by:Moon Mullican and Chief William Redbird

Tabbed by: Jeff Gary

Disclaimer: I don't know what the Indian words are, so I wrote them as

close as possible to what it sounds like. The solos are not perfect and

neither are the chords, but neither am I. The (G7) means that it can be

played either as a G or G7. Listen to the CD to see if you think you should

put it in and if you shouldn't.
