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..

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

For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one

They… Used to walk singing songs by the river
Em Em7 C G…
Even when she knew for sure She had to go away

She, she never knew what her life had to give her

She never had to think about it For one single day
