My version of the first riff in the song ( RIFF # 1)
e --------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------
G --------------------------5-----7------------
D ----7---7----5-h-7---------------------------
A ----5---5------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------
After this George does a simple D boogie for the first half of each verse
e ---------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------
D----7---7-----9---9-----7---7----9---9--------
A----5---5-----5---5-----5---5----5---5--------
E----------------------------------------------
Then he does an A boogie for the second half of each verse
e----------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------
A----7---7-----9---9-----7---7----9-- 9--------
E----5---5-----5---5-----5---5----5---5--------
After that he plays this riff ( RIFF # 2)
(play last pair of numbers for 1/8 of a note)
e----------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------
A---- 7----- 6---6-----5-----------------------
E---- 5------4---4-----3-----------------------
So here is the first verse:
D boogie
Here come old flat top, he come grooving up slowly,
he got joo joo eyeball, he one Holy roller
A boogie RIFF # 2
he got hair down to his knee
got to be a joker he just do what he please
Back to RIFF # 1
*CHORUS*
Come Together, Right Now, Over me
e---------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------
G------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------------------
D------9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----------------------------
A------9 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----5-5-5-5---slide to--5-5-
E------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----3-3-3-3-------------7-7-
Then it goes back to RIFF # 1
That is basically it minus a few small riffs that aren't worth posting. I
like this version because it sounds better when you are playing solo. For
complete lyrics just look back at some previous postings, with help from
this you can play a pretty good version.

I was just looking through some tabs at your site. I came across this tab
for "Come Together" by the Beatles (which was written out by Will Curry).
Below I've written out what I think sounds closer to the way it was
recorded. See if you think so too.
This is what you have posted (RIFF # 1)
e --------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------
G --------------------------5-----7------------
D ----7---7----5-h-7---------------------------
A ----5---5------------------------------------
