Bell Bottom Blues Acoustic Chords - Eric Clapton






This is one of my favorite Eric Clapton songs. When ever I have to play a
gig, I always make sure this song is in my set list. But I also noticed the
chord tab for this song was wrong, so I made my own. If you have any
trouble with the song, listen to the song first. When you've made your
final judgement on the song, please rate and/or leave a comment
