I'd appreciate any help or if someone can post it. I spent a few minutes trying to figure this one out [SRV's "Couldn't Stand The Weather"] about a week ago. I don't have much of it, but this might help you out, and it's better than nothing. Remember -- as always with SRV, tune down half a step. The opening flurry is consists of riffs on wierd suspensions of the chords Bm, A, G and F#, I think. After that, it kicks into the main riff: (Eb) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (Bb) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (Gb) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (Db) |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| (Ab) |-5-3-5-----------|---------------3-|-5-3-5-----------|-----------------| (Eb) |-----------1---3-|-----------4-5---|-----------------|---2---3---4---5-| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & The verses continue with that chord progression -- D, then G. I think the chorus was mostly F#m and E. - Brian *************************************************************************** * Brian Davies (davies@ils.nwu.edu) * There are three kinds of lies: * * http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~davies/ * Lies, damned lies, and release * * Institute For The Learning Sciences * dates. * * 1890 Maple Ave, Evanston, IL, 60201 * - guess who * ***************************************************************************
