Lynyrd Skynyrd - All I Can Do Is Write About It


I hate tabs like that ^ where u just write down the chords...
i wrote this so then ppl will no the rythym for this song, which is 
actually is kinda tricky and will takje me a few hours to finish...

There ain't no place I ain't never gone

                       
    3& 4eanda       1& 2eanda 
But it's kinda like the sayin

      1& 2eanda   3& 4eanda      1& 2eanda   3& 4eanda
