For the D7 he's using both xx0212 and xx7575 (EADGBE)
For the E7, I'm not sure, but probably the x7675x.
That's it. There are a couple of licks missing but with a little messing
around with the chords you'll be able to get them.
Have fun.
The intro is just some 'A pentatonic' stuff:
(this may not be exact)

Then there's this thing that I call "standard blues riff" (because I'm
basically musically illiterate) throughout the verses:
[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-----------------------| E-|-------------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0---2-2--2-2---2-2-----------------------|
Here's the chorus part ("Livin' your dreams, wo' you on top."):
(there's some words at the bottom to help keep up)

Livin'... Wo'... My mind... Lord...
Then here's where he says "That's how it happens livin' life by the drop":

That's how it happens livin' life by the drop.
I hope that helped some. Sorry I don't know any other SRV songs. I just
figured this one out as a favor to a friend of mine who is kinda tone-deaf. You
You're own with some of the lyrics though, they're hard to hear.
Good luck...
