Question:
Does anyone have the guitar chord/Tab for Sweet Home Alabama ... from the Forest Gump Soundtrack?

Answer:
I have an easy CRD version on my web site. Great acoustic songs at: http://ti-no.tripod.com The Song is from Lynyrd Skynyrd and you can find it at: German Southern Rock Guitar Page with lots of Chords and Tab: http://members.xoom.com/SouthernTab This song is presently on rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature.

I actually use all of them to make the song sound more exciting and they are also good to play the song with two guitars. The first possibility is to repeat the picking of the intro.The second one is just to play the chords like that and add one of the little licks each time before you start over: |---------2----|-----------0-----|----------3------| |---------3----|-----------1-----|----------0------| |---------2----|-----------0-----|----------0------| |--0--0---0----|-----------2-----|----------0------| |--------------|---3p0h3---3-----|----------2------| |--------------|-----------------|---3p0h3--3------| The little licks are as follows:        Lick 1      Lick2               Lick3 |------------------||------------------||-------------------|| |------------------||------------------||-------------------|| |-------------2p0--||0-0-2p0-0-4p0-0-5b||----0-----0-----0--|| |-----2p0h2--------||------------------||0h2---0h2---0h2----|| |-0h2-------2------||------------------||-------------------|| |------------------||------------------||-------------------|| The third possibility is as follows: |--------------|--------------|-------------|-------------|| |--------------|--------------|-------------|-------------|| |--7--7--7--7--|--5--5--5--5--|-------------|-------------|| |--7--7--9--7--|--5--5--7--5--|--5--5----5--|----5-5-5-5--|| |--5--5--5--5--|--3--3--3--3--|--5--5----5--|----5-5-7-5--|| |--------------|--------------|--3--3----3--|----3-3-3-3--|| The riff you can hear between the verses and the chorus wasnít easy to figure out, but here it is: |------------------|------------------|------------------| |------------------|------------------|------------------| |----------7----7--|------------5--5--|------------------| |----------7----7--|------------5--5--|------------------| |-7h8h9------------|--9\7ó-5/7--------|---7\0ó(let ring)-| |------------------|------------------|------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |-------0--------------| |-----0-------------0--| |-0h2-----------0h2----| |---------3p0h3--------| SWEET HOME ALABAMA Big wheels keep on turning, carry me home to see my kin singing songs about the southland.
