Layla - Eric Clapton unplugged

May 1st 2008 23:29
This is an essential song for any budding guitarist. Clapton revealed this song with "see if you can spot this one" and whilst it might not have fooled anyone, the unplugged version was definitely an immediate hit and breathed new light into the classic song.

Lyrics

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

CHORUS
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Chorus

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Chorus

Chorus
