Eric Clapton Cream - Old Love guitar tab
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 Dm7 Gsus4 G
I can feel your body
Am7 F/Dm7 Gsus4 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
Feel free to add the solo and fills ;)

Hi
Here's the tab for Old Love including one of my absoulute
favourite guitarsolos!
I wrote this one in notepad, so it's best if you run it there too.
Use Lucida Console, size 8.It will look ok then.
All Righty then, here we go!;
Old Love
The main riff goes something like this:
Am Dm7 G7sus4 G
