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.

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/eric_clapton/old_love_tab_ver_4.html ]
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
