Pride and Joy
by SRV off Texas Flood
You had better clean the rust off your fingers to learn this tune inside
and out. And remember Stevie always tuned down a half step. He also
played on 11 and 12 gauge strings.

I find it easiest to play these lower bass notes by forming the chord and
then using your pinky to finger the notes, I am not sure exactly how SRV
did it!

I would suggest to any serious guitar player interested in SRV to learn these
Solos if you want to really get into SRV's style.

Well hopefully I didn't waste the two hours it took to type this and that
someone will use this to its full potential and But I am sure alot of
you will.
Have fun now, and here it goes: (sing along, all)

"Pride and Joy" Stevie Ray Vaughan
intro
Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
she's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
she's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Yeah I love my baby, my heart and soul
love like ours won't never grow old
she's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
she's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Yeah I love my baby to belong and lean
you mess with her, you'll see a man gettin' mean
she's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
she's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
guitar solo 1
Well I love my baby like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time
she's my sweet little thing, she's my pride amd joy
she's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Yeah I love my baby, my heart and soul
love like ours will never grow old
she's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
she's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
