Simplify chords 

  			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.
