Young Man Old Man

E|--------------------------------
E|-------| 

Tuning: CFCFC  (Open F- open G a 
full step down)

This song was a little bit tougher 
to figure out because on both the 
studio and live
Rich's guitar is drenched with a 
Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere.  What
 little video exists
this song live doesn't offer very 
many shots of Rich's hand, so I had 
to go pretty much
ear on this one.

This is the main riff, but every 
once in a while, one of these is 
thrown in:
E|------------------------| 
B|---------------------9--| 
G|---------------------7--| 
D|---------------------9--| 
A|------------3p0---------| 
E|--2-2-3-5-2-----3-3-----| 

As with most Black Crowes songs, the
 verse riff features a lot of little
 variations that
not going to sit here and tab out.  
Have fun with it.
