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.

Here is what I consider correct; however, a few mails have suggested that 3rd verse 1st line is about his wife, and could therefore be: "Yeah I love my Lenny, she's long and lean". Well, you can decide for youself. Thank you to all who answered. A tab version (including only 1st verse) not made by me can be found on ftp.nevada.edu OR MIRRORS! The mirrors are in fact faster (for me, anyway). I have put up a few links on my www-blues page, including the nevada mirrors: http://www.iesd.auc.dk/~lohmann/blues.html Have fun now, and here it goes: (sing along, all) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
