          BASS TAB 

and Ginger BAKER (drummer), this  surely is one of the pillars on which Eric CLAPTON 
built his fame.  And the engine starts at the first stroke ! 
 
There are six verses each of them consisting of the usual 12 bars. 

   1. Intro verse
   2. 1st sung verse
   3. 2nd sung verse
   4. solo verse
   5. 3 rd sung verse
   6. outro verse


The bass was another story to tab : the riffs vary constantly 
and you must listen very carefully to what Bruce is doing ! 
Only in the 2 last verses do we find a steady pattern. 

You can download the full AUDIO MP3 demo from the URL at the top of this
document in which I approximately played the voice at the end of the left 
channel for you to be able to check were you are when reading 
the tab (not sure it's a success) !

The bass plays a real solo all along.

 Legend:

    h      : hammer-on
    p	     : pull-off
    /      : slide up
    \      : slide down
