Artist: Stevie Ray Vaughan
Song: Life By The Drop


Life By The Drop
Stevie Ray Vaughan

12 String acoustic, Standard tuning.

This song is pretty easy, especially for SRV. Listen to the song in order to get
the timing down, as the intro and third chorus are the hardest parts of the song.

second measure is sometimes played as the second half of the first measure. Listen
to the song to figure it out.)
