Written by Roy Edward Burris/Merle Haggard
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. e---------------------- b-5-6--6----------6---- g-------5-7p5-----5---- d-------------8p5-5h7-- a---------------------- e----------------------
