Merle Haggard - Okie From Muskoge guitar tab

This is the intro to the oringinal recording of Okie From Muskogee.

It would start in E and modulate to F after the chorus.

e--0--0--0------0--0----------------0----------------------

b------------4---4------5----5--4-5--5-4---4---------------

g-1--2--3--4--4---4-4/6--6-6-------------6----4--2--1------

d---------------------------------------------6--4--2------

a----------------------------------------------------------

e----------------------------------------------------------

This is some of the fills they would use after it modulates to F.

You want to rake the chords.

(fill 1) (fill 2) (fill 3)

e-5-6-8--------- e--------------- e---------8-10-12------

d-6------x8^pbr6 b-5-6-8--------- b-5-6-8---8------------

g-5------------- g-5------x7pbr5- g-5-------9------------

d--------------- d-5------------- d-5-------10-----------

a--------------- a--------------- a----------------------

e--------------- e--------------- e----------------------

Forgive me if this isn't perfect, i'm doing this by memory.

Merle starts this in D and kicks up to E now and that's the

way we do it and there is no intro.

There is another fill they play now after the third one when

they go back into F or E(whatever key you play it in).

Be sure and let all the notes ring.

b-5-6--6----------6----

g-------5-7p5-----5----

d-------------8p5-5h7--
