The second section has a clearly defend progression to which I'm sure we
could argue endlessly over whether it' in D ort G a la Sweet Home
Alabama.

Just a side note.... according to the writers, it's in G. (I got to meet
Ed
King during NAMM weekend recently.)

Yes, I've heard Ed tell the story before, but his logic is flawed. He
says that it's in G because when they played it live, they always
ended it on a G chord, which you can hear on the live version on One
More From The Road. It made for a very interesting solo, and I know
Ed believes in his heart that it's the truth, but as far as I'm
concerned, it's n D. And I'll bet if you asked Gary Rossington (the
third co-writer), he'd say it's in D. I know the producer always
thought it was in D and tried to argue with Ed about it, but in the
end, they all liked the weirdness of the tonality of Ed's solo (jhis
is the first guitar solo), so they let him run with it ;)


No the same as what I heard... but that's cool.
