Since there wasn't an accurate tab of this song on this site, and since www.olga.net did have an accurate one, here it is. I didn't transcribe this. I suppose this SeanBrown guy did. But anyway, here it is. Plus a link to the site off of which this tab came. Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 13:00:25 -0400 From: "Sean Brown" Subject: a/allman_brothers_band/blue_sky.tab This is the song off the 1972 recording by the Allman Brothers Band, "Eat A Peach". This song already has two chord files on the OLGA, but for this one, I attempted to the best of my ability to tab all the lead parts for the song, including the dual lead guitar breaks and the extended solo. "Blue Sky" by Dicky Betts, copyright 1972 (Capricorn Records)

Note: It sounds to me like there are two lead guitars in the intro. There is one dominant one while the other seems to be muddled in the background. There is also an organ part. It's hard to hear both of the guitars, so I only wrote it for one. [Verse] E B A E Walk ... E B A They ... A it's going, no no
