LYNYRD SKYNYRD SIMPLE MAN Intro/verse riff

Repeat this riff throughout each verse. Hold the chords down throughout; there’s an open string at the end of bars 1 and 2 which facilitates the changes. Use the picking shown under the tab for a confident delivery. Notice how the picking pattern for C is repeated on the lower set of strings for G, and, then on the same strings, for Am.
