Cheatin' Woman -- Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ronnie VanZant - Gary Rossington - Al Kooper
From Lynyrd Skynyrd Nothin' Fancy Album

Note: The rhythm is played on electric piano and the Em chords are
      arpeggiated during the verses. Listen to the song and you
      should be able to figure it out.

The solo is in Em pentatonic, very slow with those jabs and stabs
Lynyrd Skynyrd is famous for.

The outro is a dual guitar lead up at the 12th, 15th & 17th frets.
