------------------------------------------------------ Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips ------------------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Johnny Butt This is probably the most thorough chord tab i've done to date. There's a couple things to keep in mind: 1) Words not in parenthesis (/) are sung by Gladys 2) Words in parenthesis () are sung by the Pips 3) Words in brackets [] are sung by both' 4) There is a capo on the first fret 5) For those who want to know the actual chord names: C = C# or Db Em7 = Fm7 F = F# or Gb G = G# or Ab D = D# or Eb Am = A#m or Bbm Capo 1 C Em7 F G x2 Verse 1 -------
