Promises

by Eric Clapton

Edit

Tabbed in C.
I left out all the bends and slides and chords.
You will have to find them yourself.
There is definantly more than one way to play this tune.


-4  -4   -4   3  -3 -4 4  -4    -5
I don't care if you never come home.

5   5   5   -4   4   6
I don't mind if you just

  7  7   9  7 7  7 7  7  7  -7    7      
Keep on rowin'away on a distant sea

4  -4 -5    -5   -5   5  -5   -4    3    3
cuz I don't love you and you don't love me.

-4  -4   -4 -4 -4 4    -3  -5   5   -5  -6
You cause a commotion when you come to town

4   5     5  5   5   -5   5    7            
You give 'em a smile and they melt

7  7   8   7    7    7    7   7   7   -6    7 
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine

4   4  -5    -5    -5   4   -4  -5   3   3
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.

-4 7  -7 7  -5 4 -4
La la la la la la la

-4  -4  -4     3  -3  -4 -5 -5    -6
I don't care what you do at night oh

7  7     7    -6  6    6  -5   6    7
I don't care how you get your delights

 7     8    7  7  7      
We'll leave it alone

 7    7     7  -7 6      
We'll just let it be

4   -5  -5   -5  4   -4  -5    3    3
I don't love you and you don't love me.

7 7   7   7  6
I got a problem

 5   5   6  -7
Can you relate?

6  6  6 6   5
I got a woman

7  7    7     -7
Callin' love hate.

5  5   -5  5
We made a vow

 5    -6 -7 6   5
we'd always be friends.

6    6    6   6    6   -6 6  -6   5
How could we know that promises end.

-4  7 -7 7   -5  4 -4
La la la la  la la la

-4 -4   -4 -4   3   -3  -5    5 -5   -6
I tried to love you for years upon years

 4   5  5   5   5   5   5  -4   7
But you refuse to take me for real

 5    5    5    5  5   5   5  6   -7   7
It's time you saw what I want you to see

4    5   -5   -5    -5  5   -5     -5  5   5
That I'd still love you if you'd just love me.

6  6  6   6   5
I got a problem

5    5   6 -7
Can you relate?

6  6  6  6  5
I got a woman

7   7    7    -8
Callin' love hate.

 5  5  -6   5
We made a vow

6    -7 -7  6     5
we'd always be friends.

  6  6    6   6    6   -5 5 -5   5
How could we know that promises end.

-4  7  -7 7  -5  4 -4
La la  la la la  la la
