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
