Verse again
Piano Break
until i get more, you should get the idea of how the song is, after it says "Back from
the land of california to my sweet home chicago" ther is a little change of pace and
then it goes back to a verse thing,then a piano break, and then the solo by Doyle, but
they layout goes like this
Intro Riff
Riff A5 \
Riff E5 \
Riff A5 verse
Riff E5 /
Riff D5 /
Piano Break
Solo by bramhall
Verse
Solo By Clapton
Intro Riff
