Tom: A Date: Sat, 20 Dec 1997 21:00:29 -0500 (EST) From: Geoff Millewich 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Legend: h = hammer on p= pull off x = mute string immediately after note is played / = slide up \ = slide down ~ = wiggle your fingers Intro Riff: e:---0----0------0----0x------------------0x-------------------------------| B:---0----0h2p0-------0x--0x--------------0x----/3---\1------0x------------| G:------------------------0x--------------------/4---\2------0x------------| D:-----------------------------2~~~~~~----------------------------2~~~~~~--| A:-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------------------| e:---0x----------------------------------------------0x--0x----| B:---0x--------3-------3-------3---------------------0x--0x----| G:--------2/4-----2/4-----2/4-----0----------------------------| D:-------------------------------------2~~~~~~~~~--------------|play twice A:-------------------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------| Riff 2: e:------0x-----0x----0-----0----0--------0x----0x--------0----0----0-| B:------0x-----0x----0-----0----0--------0x----0x--------0----0----0-| G:------1x-----1x----1-----1----1--------1x----1x--------1----1----1-| D:-------------------------------------------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------------------------| E:--0---------------------------------0------------------------------| God knows I love you darlin' .......(I'll) tell the world I do.........
