Chords for Saturday Night Special -Lynyrd Skynyrd -OMFTR Show And Tell

[C#m] _ [G] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Started by Ed King, he plays the intro riff and he's also the one that can be heard [D#m] counting
off the track on [A] the album version.
Here we go.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ [D] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So there's a Maestro Echoplex tape [F] delay on the guitar sound in the intro and that's the
slapback effect you're hearing.
_ [A#] _ Just [F#] _ one quick repeat and you can use any sort of delay pedal to get that effect if
[A] you want it.
_ _ So here it is slow.
_ _ [E] _
[D] _ _ [B] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
[E] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [B] _ [D] _ [Em] _ [Am] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It's interesting to note [C] the last measure of the intro is actually a measure of three
and not a measure of four right before the verse riff starts.
The figure is pretty much the same in the middle section right before the main guitar solo. _
It's playing the same riff with some different fills in between.
[F#m]
[C#] So [Bm] that's _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [F#] _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _ [A] _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ happening and the same thing before the actual guitar solo starts.
The very last measure of that is a measure of three and not four.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
Alright, let's do the verse riff.
Alright, the verse riff.
Here we go.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ Here it is slow.
[A] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _
[B] _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ [D] _ [E] _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] The [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ [D] _
[E] _ _ [Em] important part is to know which [G#]
notes to pick and which [Em] not to pick because some
are just sort of slid [A] down.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ [B] _ [A] _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ [A] _ [D] _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ And going into the actual chorus, I'll play the chorus for them too.
[Am] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[D] _ [E] _ [G] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ [F] _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ So here it is slow.
_ [F#] _ [B] _ Alright, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [F] _ [F#] _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ let's check out the solos. _
Intro solo played by Gary Rossington.
Here we [A#] go. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [Am] Here it is slow.
_ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [C] So the trick is [A] to, after that first note that you pick, the way I do it is just tuck
the pick under my index finger and use my thumb and middle finger.
Sort of a Billy Gibbons thing.
He does that a lot too.
So watch it again.
_ [A#] _ _
[B] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ The solo after chorus one, also played by Gary.
[E] Here we go.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [C#m] Here it is slow, starting on the 15th fret of the [Am] B string.
Do a big bend [G] here.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [F] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _
And if you don't quite have the two finger thing down, you can pick those notes as well.
I'll play it this time just so [G#] I'll pick.
