|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 / / /|
|that's how it happened living |life by the |drop / / /|

great tab. tuning is wrong tho. stevie never tuned his guitars to standard. he was always a 1/2 step down to get a great blues tone.

Actually, I beleive this version works in with the recording. For some reason, this song was recorded in standard tuning (possibly cause SRV didn't write it.).
