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
