MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB (as recorded by Stevie Ray Vaugh)
Original music by George "Buddy" Guy
I haven't figured out the solo, but this is the intro and the
verses.
~ = whammy bar tremelo
h = hammer on for next note
p = pull off for next note
s = slide up to next note
(n) = optional fingered note
Intro (Stevie throws in grace notes but this is the basic structure):

Life By The Drop
It took this song to make me find my forgotten 12-string Eko which was deep
buried in a closet for quite some time. I had it serviced and sat down to
learn the song. Here are the results:
Fist, the general outline. The intro and a couple more licks are after it.
|A |E7 |F#min |D7
|/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / /
|Hello there |my old friend, |not so long ago it was |still the end
|A |E7 |F#min |D7

|F#min D7 |E7 |A |A

|that's how it happened living |life by the |drop |
^---- only 2/4 here
|Up and down the road in our |worn out shoes
|talking about good things and |singing the blues
|you went your way and |I stayed behind
|we both knew it was just a |matter of time
|living a dream as |though you're on top
|my mind is aching |Lord it won't stop
|that's how it happens living |life by the |drop / / /| / / / /|
|No waste of time we |??...?? the day
|turning up the past, there's no |easier way
|time's been between us a |means to an end (???)
|God, it's good to be here, walking |together my friend
|living a dream | <fill>

For the D7 he's using both xx0212 and xx7575 (EADGBE)
For the E7, I'm not sure, but probably the x7675x.
That's it. There are a couple of licks missing but with a little messing
around with the chords you'll be able to get them.
Have fun.

The intro is just some 'A pentatonic' stuff:

Then there's this thing that I call "standard blues riff" (because I'm
basically musically illiterate) throughout the verses:

Well there is the intro and verse to cold shot.
Hope you SRV fans and others enjoy it!! I have included the rest of the lyrics
at the bottom for all those interested.
Verse 2
Remember the way that you loved me
Do anything I say
And now I see You out somewhere you won't give me the time of day
And thats a cold shot etc...
Verse 3
I really meant I was sorry
for ever causing you pain
You showed your appreciation
by walking out any way.

The best way I find to get these bass notes in is to form the E chord and
use your pinky to finger the low notes.

I would suggest to any serious guitar player interested in SRV to learn these
solos if you want to really get into SRV's style.
Here is the short out solo.

The intro seems to be arpeggios off the chords...like
E D B & A G E. This is'nt reflected in the tab above though...UJD.

B9 E9 A G
Are A and G parts of the verse?? It seems to me the chords to the
verses were B9 (As above) G#m E9 and the intro stuff following that. I've
written this against the lyrics I got from nevada.----UJD
B9
Caught up in a world wind cant catch my breath, knee deep in hot water
broke out in cold sweat, cant catch the turtle in this rat race feels like
G#m7 E9 E-D-B7 A-G-E
I'm losing time at breakneck pace.
The chorus is quite correct...(As Chuck Dolese wrote below..) except the A and
G below should (IMHO) be replaced by A and E9(?)......UJD.
I take no responsibility for mistakes in the tabbing of the following,
as I didn't tab them, I merely compiled them.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB (as recorded by Stevie Ray Vaugh)
Original music by George "Buddy" Guy
I haven't figured out the solo, but this is the intro and the
verses.
~ = whammy bar tremelo
h = hammer on for next note
p = pull off for next note
s = slide up to next note
(n) = optional fingered note
Intro (Stevie throws in grace notes but this is the basic structure):

Life By The Drop
It took this song to make me find my forgotten 12-string Eko which was deep
buried in a closet for quite some time. I had it serviced and sat down to
learn the song. Here are the results:
Fist, the general outline. The intro and a couple more licks are after it.
|A |E7 |F#min |D7
|/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / /
|Hello there |my old friend, |not so long ago it was |still the end
|A |E7 |F#min |D7
|/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / / |/ / / /
|late outside|in the pouring rain|on our way up the road|we started over again
|F#min |D7 E7
|/ / / / |/ / / /
|living a dream |as though you're on top (?)
|F#min |D7 E7
|/ / / / |/ / / /
|my mind is aching |Lord it won't stop
|F#min D7 |E7 |A |A
|/ / / / |/ / |/ / / / |/ / / /
|that's how it happened living |life by the |drop |
^---- only 2/4 here
|Up and down the road in our |worn out shoes
|talking about good things and |singing the blues
|you went your way and |I stayed behind
|we both knew it was just a |matter of time
|living a dream as |though you're on top
|my mind is aching |Lord it won't stop
|that's how it happens living |life by the |drop / / /| / / / /|
|No waste of time we |??...?? the day
|turning up the past, there's no |easier way
|time's been between us a |means to an end (???)
|God, it's good to be here, walking |together my friend
|living a dream | <fill>

For the D7 he's using both xx0212 and xx7575 (EADGBE)
For the E7, I'm not sure, but probably the x7675x.
That's it. There are a couple of licks missing but with a little messing
around with the chords you'll be able to get them.
Have fun.

The intro is just some 'A pentatonic' stuff:
(this may not be exact)
E-|------------------------------------------------------|
B-|------------------------------------------------------|
G-|----------0-----------2---0---------0--------------2--|
D-|------0h2---0h2p0------------2--0h2----0h2p0----------|
A-|--0h3-------------3p0------------------------3--0-----|
E-|------------------------------------------------------|
Then there's this thing that I call "standard blues riff" (because I'm
basically musically illiterate) throughout the verses:
A E F#m D
E-|-------------------------------------------2-2---2-2-----------------------|
B-|-------------------------------------------2-2---2-2-----------------------|

E-|-------------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0---2-2--2-2---2-2-----------------------|
Here's the chorus part ("Livin' your dreams, wo' you on top."):
(there's some words at the bottom to help keep up)
E-|------2-2---2-2--------------------------2-2---2-2-------------------------|
B-|------2-2---2-2--------------------------2-2---2-2-------------------------|

Well there is the intro and verse to cold shot.
Hope you SRV fans and others enjoy it!! I have included the rest of the lyrics
at the bottom for all those interested.
Verse 2
Remember the way that you loved me
Do anything I say
And now I see You out somewhere you won't give me the time of day
And thats a cold shot etc...
Verse 3
I really meant I was sorry
for ever causing you pain
You showed your appreciation
by walking out any way.

The best way I find to get these bass notes in is to form the E chord and
use your pinky to finger the low notes.

I find it easiest to play these lower bass notes by forming the chord and
then using your pinky to finger the notes, I am not sure exactly how SRV
did it!

I would suggest to any serious guitar player interested in SRV to learn these
solos if you want to really get into SRV's style.
Here is the short out solo.

The intro seems to be arpeggios off the chords...like
E D B & A G E. This is'nt reflected in the tab above though...UJD.

B9 E9 A G
Are A and G parts of the verse?? It seems to me the chords to the
verses were B9 (As above) G#m E9 and the intro stuff following that. I've
written this against the lyrics I got from nevada.----UJD
B9
Caught up in a world wind cant catch my breath, knee deep in hot water
broke out in cold sweat, cant catch the turtle in this rat race feels like
G#m7 E9 E-D-B7 A-G-E
I'm losing time at breakneck pace.
The chorus is quite correct...(As Chuck Dolese wrote below..) except the A and
G below should (IMHO) be replaced by A and E9(?)......UJD.
