Subject: TAB: Hug You Squeeze You by Stevie Ray Vaughan


Hug You Squeeze You

by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
from the "Live at the El Mocambo" Video Recording

Transcribed by Geoff Millewich


As far as I know, Stevie Ray has not released this song on any of his
albums. The intro riff is just as serious as the lyrics, and I have a
hard time keeping a straight face when I play it. It took me about ten
minutes to figure it out and a few hours to really get it down. Use lots
of reverb and (as always with S.R.V.) tune down 1/2 step.


P.S. -- This is my first shot at writing tab, so bear with me.
I've been moochin' off you all for so long that
I figured I ought to make some contribution.
