Notes:
- This is the most accurate unplugged version of the song, though it’s possible that the chorus and bridge may need some minor tweaking.
- Guitar 2 parts are in the correct place, but are not played every time through (listen to the song to find out when).
- Note that Clapton’s unplugged version is different than his original.
- To get the best results for printing it out, copy it to Microsoft Word, make everything Courier New font & size 9, and then make just the title size 14.
