MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB (as recorded by Stevie Ray Vaugh)

Original music by George "Buddy" Guy

I haven't figured out the solo, but this is the intro and the

verses.

~ = whammy bar tremelo

h = hammer on for next note

p = pull off for next note

s = slide up to next note

(n) = optional fingered note

Intro (Stevie throws in grace notes but this is the basic structure):
