Old Love Intro (ver2) Tab - Eric Clapton






Here's the intro to the original Old Love found on the Journeyman CD.
Use clean tone and reverb for the rhythm parts, which are of course played
on a Strat with one of the warmer pickups (probably neck). I'm not sure what
Eric uses for the lead parts, but a bridge pickup with a bit of distortion
should do. Enjoy.

And, for your convenience, here's the rough guide to the chords,
directly ripped off another tab :)


Am7     Dm7Gsus4  G
I can feel your body
Am7F/Dm7Gsus4  G
When I`m lying in bed
Am7     Dm7                  Gsus4  G
There's too much confusion
Am7     F/Dm7        Gsus4             G
Going around through my head

F                        E7
And it makes me so angry
                             Am Am- Am7 D7
To know that the flame still burns
F                     E7
Why can't I get over?
                 F      E7 . . . .
When will I ever learn

    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G           Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G
Old love,         leave me alone
    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G        Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G
Old love,         go on home

Am7     Dm7                 Gsus4  G
I can see your face
Am7     F/Dm7     Gsus4  G
But I know that it's not real
Am7     Dm7                  Gsus4  G
It's just an illusion
Am7     F/Dm7                        Gsus4  G
Caused by how I used to feel

F                        E7
And it makes me so angry
                                   Am AM- Am7 D7
To know that the flame will always burn
F                    E7
I'll never get over
                           F      E7 . . . .
I know now that I'll never learn


    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G           Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G
Old love,         leave me alone
    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G        Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G
Old love,         go on home
