Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 
            Song: Let's stay together
Artist: Al Green
Composers: Al Green, Willie Mitchell and Al Jackson

Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar-) 12th Oct 2014

CAPO: 3rd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of F)

The Gmadd9 and Gm have a Bb bass, but I felt the voicings below 
worked better on guitar. You could just play a Gm/Bb (x20033)
in place of those two chords if you prefer.

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Em9  = 020032    Bm9    = x20222   Gmaj7  = 320002
F#m7 = 242222    G      = 320033   C#m    = x46654
Em7  = 020000    Gmadd9 = xx5335   Fmaj7  = 133210
A7   = x02020    Gm     = xx5333   Dmaj7  = xx0222
D    = xx0232    B9     = x2122x
