As far as I know, Stevie Ray has not released this song on any of his
albums.  The intro riff is just as serious as the lyrics, and I have a
hard time keeping a straight face when I play it. It took me about ten
minutes to figure it out and a few hours to really get it down.  Use lots
of reverb and (as always with S.R.V.) tune down 1/2 step.


P.S. --  This is my first shot at writing tab, so bear with me.
         I've been moochin' off you all for so long that
         I figured I ought to make some contribution.
