Stevie Ray Vaughan - Life By The Drop

This is my first tab that I have done hope its right, if its not its probably cause its about 2:30 am right now so I guess enjoy one of the greatest blues songs in my opinion. And the basis of this tab is credited to the tabber named “the edge”

This intro is some what hard to play but its fun

E-|------------------------------------------------------|
B-|----------------------2---0------------------------2--|
G-|------0h2-0-0h2p0-----2---0--2--0h2-0--0h2p0-------2--|
D-|--2---0h2---0h2p0-2p0--------2--0h2----0h2p0-2p0------|
A-|--0h3-------------3p0------------------------3p0------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------|

   There is a part in the song that is like a perverse where you play this

E-|-------------------------|
B-|-------------------2-----|
G-|-------------------2-----|
D-|--2-2-4-4--2-2-2---------|
A-|--0-0-0-0--0-0-3p0-------|
E-|-------------------------|


This is the verse to the song but right after you play the perverse thing you play the beginning riff of the verse that is in A just a few times before he starts singing and you start the real verse

    A                 E                  F#m             D
E-|------------------------------------------2-2------2-2-----------------------|
B-|------------------------------------------2-2------2-2-----------------------|
G-|------------------------------------------2-2------2-2--2-2-4-4--2-2-4-2-----|
D-|-2-2-4-4--2-2-4-2-------------------------4-4------4-4--0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-----|
A-|-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--2-2-4-4--2-2-4-2---4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-----------------------|
E-|-------------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0---2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-----------------------|


   This is the chorus part, listen to the song to get the timing between 
   everything


E-|-----2-2------2-2--------------------------2-2-----2-2-------------------------|
B-|-----2-2------2-2--------------------------2-2-----2-2-------------------------|
G-|-----2-2------2-2---2-2-4-2----------------2-2-----2-2---2-2-4-2---------------|
D-|-----4-4------4-4---0-0-0-0----------------4-4-----4-4---0-0-0-0---------------|
A-|-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-----------2-2-4-2---4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4------------2-2-4-2------|
E-|-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-----------0-0-0-0---2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2------------0-0-0-0------|

   Then there is the end of the chorus

E-|----------2--------------2-----------------------|
B-|----------2--------------3-----------------------|
G-|----------2--------------2------------------2----|
D-|----------4--------------0------2-----------2----|
A-|----------4---------------------2-----------0----|
E-|----------2---------------------0----------------|
   
He plays this at the end of the second chorus

E-|----------2--------------2-----------------------|
B-|----------2--------------3-----------------------|
G-|----------2------2--2----2------------------2----|
D-|----------4------0--0----0------2-----------2----|
A-|-4-4------4---------------------2-----------0----|
E-|-2-2------2---------------------0----------------|

   At the end of the last verse of the song he plays this

    A                 E                  F#m             D
E-|-------------------------------------------2-2---2-2--2-2-2-----2----------|
B-|-------------------------------------------2-2---2-2--3-3-3-3-----3--------|
G-|-------------------------------------------2-2---2-2--2-2-----2-----2------|
D-|-2-2-4-4--2-2-4-2--------------------------4-4---4-4--0-0------------------|
A-|-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--2-2-4-4--2-2-4-2---4-4--4-4---4-4-----------------------|
E-|-------------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0---2-2--2-2---2-2-----------------------|

   Followed by this right after it

    A                 E                  F#m             D
E-|-------------------------------------2----------------2--------------|
B-|-------------------------------------2----------------3--------------|
G-|-------------------------------------2----------------2--------------|

E-|-------------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--2-------------------------------|

   At the end of the song he starts playing this

E-|------2-2------2-2---------2-0--0-2p0---------------|
B-|------2-2------2-2-------2-2-0--0-2p0---------------|
