A            E7             F#m                  D7
Hello there  my old friend, not so long ago it was still the end
A            E7                  F#min                  D7
late outside in the pouring rain on our way up the road we started over again
F#m          D7               E7
living a dream as though you're on top  
F#m             D7            E7
my mind is aching Lord it won't stop
F#m         D7              E7           A        
that's how it happened living life by the  drop       
                              

Up and down the road in our worn out shoes
talking about good things and singing the blues
you went your way and I stayed behind
we both knew it was just a matter of time
living a dream as though you're on top
my mind is aching Lord it won't stop
that's how it happens living life by the drop 

No waste of time we ??...?? the day
turning up the past, there's no easier way
time's been between us a means to an end
God, it's good to be here, walking together my friend
living a dream as though you're on top
my mind starts thinking Lord it won't stop 
that's how it happened living life by the drop 
that's how it happened living life by the drop

I just cleaned the other tab up a little bit so that it was easier to read. :) -jdomary \| 6/12/2003
Songwriter was actually Doyle Bramhall. Matter of fact, he has released a version of him doing it that is getting pretty heavy airplay on the radio... -lmofle \| 6/12/2003
Use a D and E instead of D7 and E7 on the verse "That's how it happens...". I beleive it sounds better that way. The questionable lyrics are "No wasted time,we're alive today, churnin' up the past there's no easier way" Awesome SRV tune! -kikstand \| 6/17/2003
it appears the solo stays within this pattern E 0-2 B 0-2-4 G 2-4 D 2-4 A 2-4 E and that little fill after living our dreams... sounds like this E 0 0 B 0 2 0 2 G 2h4 2 2h4 4 D A E hope this helps -natedoggnr \| 11/23/2003
The first line of the last verse is No wasted time we're alive today, in case anyone wanted that -azleredneck \| 3/23/2004
I may be wrong but I believe that Stevie Ray Vaughn wrote this song. -TXCBullfrog \| 3/25/2004
Stevie did write it. It's about his struggle with alcohol and how it messed his life up. Cody did a cover of it at the Wormy Dog several years ago. -azleredneck \| 4/11/2004
not sure if that is correct Doyle Bramhall wrote most of his stuff -Delta_Shanty \| 5/8/2004
vaughn didn't write it the other guy wrote it about his friend stevie who at the time had a drinkin problem. -sexton51 \| 5/15/2004
