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
|/ / / / |/ / / /

|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 |
|my mind starts thinking|
|that's how it happened living |life by the |drop / / /|

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.

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.
E9 B9
People walking the tightrope trying to make it right
E9 B9
Walking the tightrope every day and every night etc...repeat order of chord
E9 B9
Walking the tightrope
A G (intro)
Solo is played in the key of B
Tightrope
by
(Stevie Ray Vaughan)
CHORDS ONLY
-----------------------------------
Key: B major Solo: B minor pentatonic with some major scale riffs
With swing: E - D - B7 / A - G - E (x2)
B9
Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath.
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat.
Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race.
G#m7 E9 E-D-B7 / A-G-E (x2)
Feels like I'm losing, at a breakneck pace.
Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace.
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face.
There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge.
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end.
E9 B9
Walkin' the tight rope, steppin on my friends
E9 B9
Walkin' the tight rope, was a shame and a sin.
E9 B9
Walkin' the tight rope, between wrong and right.
A E9
Walkin' the tight rope, both day and night. (Solo)
Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin.
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend
We've had all our problems, that's the way life is.
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends.
(Walkin' the tightrope) Trying to make it right
Every day and every night
Bring it all around.
From the lost to found.
Streched around the world.
Save the boys and girls.
Let's make it right.
Do it, do it tonight.
Walkin the tightrope.
(Solo)

The bend here | on the A string. You bend this this a full
step, hold it a second and then bring it back down. Do this really
slow and very smoothe. Listen to the tape to get a better idea of what I'm
saying.
Well I hope you enjoy it.
