Couldnt Stand the Weather v1   Stevie Ray Vaughan

Passin through this business of life
Raisin' sand if Im needed to
Aint so funny when things aint feelin right
Then daddys hand helps to see me through
Sweet as sugar, love wont wash away
Rain or shine, its always here to stay
All these years you and I spent together
I guess we just couldnt stand the weather

Like the train that stops at every station
We all deal with trials and tribulations
Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears
Changes come before we can grow
Learn to see them before were too old
Dont just take me for tryin to be heavy
Understand, its time to get ready for the storm

 I hit OLGA and a few smaller archives but could not find any
 tabulature for this great song.  I'd appreciate any help or if someone
 can post it.

I spent a few minutes trying to figure this one out [SRV's "Couldn't Stand
The Weather"] about a week ago.  I don't have much of it, but this might
help you out, and it's better than nothing.

Remember -- as always with SRV, tune down half a step.

The opening flurry is consists of riffs on wierd suspensions of the chords
Bm, A, G and F#, I think.

After that, it kicks into the main riff:
(Eb) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
(Bb) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
(Gb) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
(Db) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
(Ab) |-5-3-5-----------|---------------3-|-5-3-5-----------|-----------------|
(Eb) |-----------1---3-|-----------4-5---|-----------------|---2---3---4---5-|
       1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

The verses continue with that chord progression -- D, then G.  I think the
chorus was mostly F#m and E.

                                                                - Brian
