In response to a recent request for Little Martha by Duane Allman, here is one
I had on hand, downloaded a while ago from the net.  I haven't listened to the
Allman Bros. album that it is on for quite  a while, so don't know how true it
is to that, but it sounds nice the way it is written.  By the way, it is also
very close to the way Kottke plays it on the Home and Away video.  Kottke plays
it in open D with no capo and uses an alternating bass rather than the monotone
that this tab has.  Also, Kottke does a neat thing with 12th and 7th fret
harmonics at the beginning.  All credit to the original poster:

                     by: Duanne Allman

  Playing notes:   

  This instrumental is played in open E tuning (E B E G# B E).
  Rather than tuning the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings up (which can
  be really stressful on the neck), you can tune down to open D
  (D A D F# A D) and capo at the second fret.  

  The thumb keeps time with a monotonic bass line while the
  fingers play the melody.  The structure of the tune is:

      1 - Intro
      2 - Part 1 ending with [1.]
      3 - Repeat Part 1 ending with [2.]
      4 - Part 2
      5 - Repeat Part 1 up until [To Coda]
      6 - Coda

Chords used:  numbers in grid indicate frets
              numbers in parentheses are suggested fingerings (1=index,2=middle,etc)

        E B E G#B e
       +-----------+
E       0 0 0 0 0 0  (pretty obvious !)
A       5 5 5 5 5 5  (1st finger barre)
C#m/E   x x 0 8 9 9  (x x 0 2 3 3)
C#m/B   x 0 x 8 9 9  (x 0 x 2 3 3)
A/B     x 0 x 5 5 5  (1st finger barre)
B       x 0 x 7 7 7  (1st finger barre)
B7      x 0 x 1 0 2  (x 0 x 1 0 3)
E/G#    4 0 0 3 0 0  (3 0 0 1 0 0)
F#      2 0 0 1 0 0  (3 0 0 1 0 0)
       +-----------+

 h = hammer on
 p = pull off

 4    2
 - or -  =  time signature
 4    4

 Timing is as follows:
      1   .   2   .   3     .   4    .
      one &   two &   three &   four &
