WHIPPIN' POST (Gregg Allman) Am Am(on 2nd fret) A(on 5th fret) Am(on 2nd fret) Am I've been run down, and I've been lied to, And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool. She took all my money, wrecked my new car, Now she's with one of my good time buddies Drinkin in some cross town bar Bm7 D7 E7 CHORUS: Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, | A D C | Like I've been tied to the whippin' post | A D C | Tied to the whippin' post, | A D C | Tied to the whippin' post, | C Tacet - Good lord I feel like I'm dying. My friends tell me that I've been such a fool, And I have to stand by and take if, baby, all for loving you. Drown myself in sorrow and I look at what you've done, But nothing seems to change, the bad times stay the same And I can't go on CHORUS \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_\_\_ \_ \_ Glen Macon \_ \_\_ \_\_ any-net: macon@cbmvax.commodore.com \_ \_ \_\_ \_ Standard disclaimer... \_ \_\_\_ \_ \_ \_ Commodore doesn't endorce what I say, I do \_ \_ \_ \_ Who wants to know... \_ \_ \_ \_ \_\_\_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. ********************************************************************* Whipping Post Allman Brothers From: mduncan@ag.Arizona.EDU (Mike Duncan) This is just mostly the first verse, but it gives an idea of the song's structure. I didn't like either one of the guitar solos so I didn't hack at them. They're in Am, of course. I include the bass line at some points. The chords are at Nevada but this elaborates further. Additions more than welcome.
