Blue Skies
Words and music by Gregg & Duane Allman & Dicky Betts
From the album, "Eat A Peach"
Lyrics and chords transcribed by unknown author,
Solo transcribed and typed by Scott Zeunik; [email protected]
Notes:
This solo by Duane is one of my alltime favorites; and although he played this, along with Dicky, masterfully using his slidework, I've written it here without the use of a slide. It may not be 100% accurate, but I bet it's 99%+. I hope you enjoy it, it took me 25-30 hours to figure out, literally, and 2-3 to transcribe. Please listen to the recording to get the proper feel for the timing.

[E]Walk along the [B]river, [A]sweet lulla[E]by, it just keeps on [B]flowing,
[A]It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no[E] [A]
[E]Don't fly, mister blue[B]bird, I'm just [A]walking down the [E]road,
Early morning sun[B]shine [A]tell me all I need to know[E] [A]
{c:Chorus}
[B]You're my [A]blue sky, [E]you're my sunny [A]day.
[B]Lord, you know it [A]makes me high when you [E]turn your love my [A]way,
Turn your love my [F#m7]way, yeah[E]
