Boot Hill

Writer Unknown

Here´s one of my favorite songs done by Stivie...this song can be found

in the album "The Sky is Crying"....released after his death.......it´s

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.....

bb-10/12-12-12-12-12-

gb-------------------

 

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 don´t 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
