Hug You Squeeze You

by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble

from the "Live at the El Mocambo" Video Recording

Transcribed by Geoff Millewich

As far as I know, Stevie Ray has not released this song on any of his

albums. The intro riff is just as serious as the lyrics, and I have a

hard time keeping a straight face when I play it. It took me about ten

minutes to figure it out and a few hours to really get it down. Use lots

of reverb and (as always with S.R.V.) tune down 1/2 step.

P.S. -- This is my first shot at writing tab, so bear with me.

I've been moochin' off you all for so long that

I figured I ought to make some contribution.
