I know that the chord in the verses for Tuff Enuff by the Fabulous Thunderbirds is a B but I can't figure out exactly which B Jimmie Vaughan is playing. I can sound close but I want to be able to play the correct chord.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Here is a video of them playing the song and there are some shot of Jimmie playing but I still can't figure out what he is playing.

That would be a STRATOCASTER he's playing.
Mwahahahaha

Seems like a plain old B to me you need to be in that area to get the rest of the licks.

In the video is he just playing a B triad of F# B and D# maybe?

That's it as far as I can tell.

Third finger bar on 4th fret DGB strings for the 1st 3 beats of the measure. On the "and" of third beat to the fourth beat, go to 2nd fret on G, 3rd fret on B, open E (like a partial D add9).
At least that's how I remember seeing it and playing it.
