Subject: Tab: «Boot Hill» by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Boot Hill
Writer Unknown
Arranged and Adapted by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Hereґs one of my favorite songs done by Stivie…this song can be found
in the album «The Sky is Crying»….released after his death…….itґs
a very lively blues….I hope you all enjoy playing this one cause its
pretty good song….so cranck your amp to ten…..use al the distortion
available…and wake up your neigborhood…..

Play these notes sveral times more…thats in the intro, the solo and at
the end….this is cause there was no room to tab all the notes..but it
gives you the idea…
The figures are shown first…the song is then layed out completely with
lyrics and figures…before I forget…Mr. Vaughan used a slide on this
song…..but since I donґt know how to use it….I played it with bare
fingers….If your gonna use a slide it will be better if you use it on
your little finger….
Tune down 1/2 step
