Eric Clapton – Promises chords ver. 2

Promises
Eric Clapton


*For this song, the more simple version of G with the B string open sounds better (320003)

*In the verses, walk up from the G to the C

*Also, every time you go from a D to G,  wrap your thumb around and play the F# on the 
low E string right before the G.

*I put the walk ups in parenthesis in the first verse to show that it's a single note
and not a chord.


G                              (A)  (B)I don't care if you never come home
C                                I don't mind if you just 
        Gkeep on rowing away on a distant sea cause
D                              (F#)  GI don't love you and you don't love me


GYou cause commotion when you come to town
CGive 'em a smile and they melt
       GHaving lovers and friends is all good and fine
    D                                     GBut I don't like yours and you don't like mine


   C      Bm7          D   *(play with Dsus4 and Dsus2 here)La la     la la la la la
   C      Bm7          D   (F#)  GLa la     la la la la la

GI don't care what you do at night and
CI don't care how you get your delights
     GI'll leave you alone, I'll just let it be
D                                   GI don't love you and you don't love me

C                   GI've got a problem, can you relate
Am7               GI've got a woman callin' love hate
C                    G  We made a vow, We'd always be friends
Am7                         GHow could we know that the promises end

   C      Bm7          D    La la     la la la la la
   C      Bm7          DLa la     la la la la la

GI tried to love you for years upon years
CYou refuse to take me for real
     GIt's time you saw what I want you to see
     D                                   GThat I'd still love you if you'd just love me

C                   GI've got a problem, can you relate
Am7               GI've got a woman callin' love hate
C                    G  We made a vow, We'd always be friends
Am7                         GHow could we know that the promises end

   C      Bm7          D    La la     la la la la la
   C      Bm7          DLa la     la la la la la

*Repeat as many times as you want and end on a G
