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 would suggest to any serious guitar player interested in SRV to learn
these
solos if you want to really get into SRV's style.
Here is the short out solo.

I promised to post a final version. 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 * 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://*~lohmann/*
Have fun now, and here it goes: (sing along, all)

Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine

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
