Hey Folks... This is The Black Crowes version of Gram Parson's "SHE"
This song has been covered by so many, including Emilou Harris, but I think
The Crowes do a great job on this... Especially Chris with Rich on Harmony.
She - written by Gram Parsons Chris Ethridge
The intro is really a step down from the formation of the Em
Tab here: Play the Em, then strum stepping down 1 fret at a time on D string

I actually play this each time I reach the Em. It somewhat emulates
what Rich Robinson does, when playing this song in open G..

VERSE-1
G F#m Bm
She she came from the land of the cotton
Em Em7 C G…
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
G F#m Bm
And She worked and she slaved so hard
Em Em7 C G…
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
F C G
Oh… Oh, but she sure could sing
F C G
Oh… Oh, she sure could sing
VERSE-2
G F#m Bm
He… He looked down and he took a little pity
Em Em7 C G…
The whole town swore they knew it was to help her some
G F#m Bm
And he… He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
Em Em7 C G…
For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one
CHORUS
F C G
Oh… Oh, but she sure could sing
F C G
Oh… Oh, she sure could sing

VERSE-3
G F#m Bm
They… Used to walk singing songs by the river
Em Em7 C G…
Even when she knew for sure She had to go away
G F#m Bm
She, she never knew what her life had to give her
Em Em7 C G…
She never had to think about it For one single day
CHORUS

Repeat VERSE-1
