[A]
[Ebm] [A]
[N] Alright, there's some nice little variations on stuff we've already played in here.
We start off the way we have before, [A] alternating the 5th string [Gbm] with our A7 out of this kind
of D-like shape.
[A] 5, pick, 5, pick, 5, pick.
And [Ab] then 5, 4, 3 and 2, [A] and come down one fret and pick the 3 strings, [Ebm] 4, 3 and 2.
[A] 1 and 2 and 3 and [Ebm] 4 and.
[Am] Now that [A] chord is [Ab] ringing across the beginning of the next bar as [G] we play [A] alternating 5 and
4, 3 and 2 out of this shape of the 4th and 5th frets.
[Eb] The two bars really belong together.
[A] 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and.
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and.
Come [Cm] back to the original shape, pinch and then the 3 [A] fingers and again, 5th string,
3 fingers.
Now come down to the second shape, frets 4 and 5 and play 5 and 2, I mean 3, 4, a triplet.
[Am] There's that great diminished chord sound.
[A] 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and.
[Am] [Eb] Back up to the 5th and 6th frets, pinch, followed by the 3 [A] fingers, come down a fret and play
the thing we just played, [Am] the triplet, back to the 5th and [A] 6th, pinch, and just the 5th string.
So that last bar of those 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.
Alright, [Eb] now we go to bar 45, D7 over F sharp, this is simple, we've played this [Gb] before,
pinch 6, 3, 2 and 1, 6, 3, 2 and 1, 6, [F] 6, and then on the and of 4 come down to the
1st fret of the 6th string.
[Gb] 1, 2 and 3, [F] 4 and.
Come back again [Eb] up to the D7 over F sharp, really play whatever you like here.
He [Gb] almost is only going 6, 6, 6, [Eb] 6.
I'm throwing in [E] the 2nd and 3rd strings [Eb] on beat 2 [Gb] and.
1, 2 and 3, 4.
You can put in whatever you like.
[N] Then we come to an A chord, we're going to play this.
Let's play it back together [F] because they belong together, [A] bars 47 and 48.
[E]
[A] [E] That's a great lazy little lick.
Making this A chord shape, the half bar, [A] 5, pinch 4 and 3, [E] 6 as you move to the 1 finger
E chord here, 3rd string 1st [Ab] fret, hammer that to the 1st fret, open [E] 1st, [Eb] 2nd string
3rd fret for E7, pinch [E] 6 and 2.
And then go to an A chord out of the F shape [Db] with the lying down finger of the [A] 5th fret.
5, 3, pinch 4, 3, 2 and 1, 3, 2 and 1, 5, 3, 2 and 1, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
Makes more sense with the count.
1, 2 [G] and [E] 3 and 4, [A] 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.
And it joins beautifully to bar [B] 49 and the E7 chord which [E] goes like this.
So it's 6 and you've got your [Eb] 2 finger E7 chord, 1st string, [E] 2nd string.
Play the top 3, then 6 and the top 3, top 3 and 6 twice more.
1, 2 and 3, 4 [Db] to D7 over F sharp and it's the same as we played [Gbm] it at bar 45.
[Gb]
[C] And the ending, the final [A] 2 bars is like this.
[Am] [E]
[A] Which is a great little ending.
[B] So [Cm] he slightly varies the turnaround.
He's going 5th [A] string and then we've got our turnaround shape [C] here.
4, 2 and 1 and stop it.
Play it again and [B] then come down to 4th fret of the 4th string.
Play [Gb] it twice.
Then open [G] 3rd string into our 1 finger [E] E chord, 6 and 3.
1, 2nd string, 3rd fret.
Play that.
1 again.
And then you're going to go into 3 finger half bar of [N] A.
These 3 fingers start at the 1st fret.
Slide from 1 to 2 of the 2nd [Cm] string [Db] quickly.
Then [A] you want to play the 2nd string.
[F] 3rd string, I'm sorry.
So you slid on the [Db] 2nd string.
[A] Play the 3rd string.
And [Eb] if you can do this, this is what Eric Clapton does.
He starts at [F] the little finger on the top 2 strings of the 5th fret.
And play 5, [A] 3, 2 and 1.
He [F] really separates them.
He plays [A] 5 and then 3, 2 and 1.
If you can't make that chord shape and keep [Ab] the half bar here.
[B] Then you could [F] just play the 2 fingers, the 2 [A] strings here.
And go 5 on the top 2 strings.
[Ab] Or you could go 5 on a normal A chord.
4, 3 and [A] 2.
Or 3, 2 and 1.
Or you could, [Cm] having slid in here,
[A] you could make A7 by adding the 1st string 3rd fret.
And play 5, 3, 2 and 1.
For a very bluesy ending.
So a [F] lot of options if you don't like this chord that Eric Clapton is playing.
That's it.
Let's play through verse 4.
Of course, [N] in real life, if you're a singer, you'll add the vocal as well.
But here's the guitar part.

And [Ab] then 5, 4, 3 and 2, [A] and come down one fret and pick the 3 strings, [Ebm] 4, 3 and 2.
[A] 1 and 2 and 3 and [Ebm] 4 and.

4, 3 and 2 out of this shape of the 4th and 5th frets.
[Eb] The two bars really belong together.

[Am] [Eb] Back up to the 5th and 6th frets, pinch, followed by the 3 [A] fingers, come down a fret and play
the thing we just played, [Am] the triplet, back to the 5th and [A] 6th, pinch, and just the 5th string.
So that last bar of those 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.
Alright, [Eb] now we go to bar 45, D7 over F sharp, this is simple, we've played this [Gb] before,
pinch 6, 3, 2 and 1, 6, 3, 2 and 1, 6, [F] 6, and then on the and of 4 come down to the
1st fret of the 6th string.
[Gb] 1, 2 and 3, [F] 4 and.
Come back again [Eb] up to the D7 over F sharp, really play whatever you like here.
He [Gb] almost is only going 6, 6, 6, [Eb] 6.
I'm throwing in [E] the 2nd and 3rd strings [Eb] on beat 2 [Gb] and.

3rd fret for E7, pinch [E] 6 and 2.
And then go to an A chord out of the F shape [Db] with the lying down finger of the [A] 5th fret.
5, 3, pinch 4, 3, 2 and 1, 3, 2 and 1, 5, 3, 2 and 1, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
Makes more sense with the count.
1, 2 [G] and [E] 3 and 4, [A] 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.
And it joins beautifully to bar [B] 49 and the E7 chord which [E] goes like this.
So it's 6 and you've got your [Eb] 2 finger E7 chord, 1st string, [E] 2nd string.
Play the top 3, then 6 and the top 3, top 3 and 6 twice more.
1, 2 and 3, 4 [Db] to D7 over F sharp and it's the same as we played [Gbm] it at bar 45.

He [F] really separates them.
He plays [A] 5 and then 3, 2 and 1.
_ _ If you can't make that chord shape and keep [Ab] the half bar here.
[B] Then you could [F] just play the 2 fingers, the 2 [A] strings here.

[Ab] Or you could go 5 on a normal A chord.
4, 3 and [A] 2.
