I haven't picked out the tab for the lead for Melissa but here is the chord
progression as close as I can get to what Greg Allman plays.  The F#m7 and
Emaj7 are a pretty good stretch until you get used to playing them, but they
get easier.  Note the two forms of C#m.  The first form is played throughout
except in the line 'Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on' in the chorus.
