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

        G
keep on rowing away on a distant sea cause
D                              (F#)  G
I don't love you and you don't love me


G
You cause commotion when you come to town
C
Give 'em a smile and they melt
       G
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
    D                                     G
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

I'll leave you alone, I'll just let it be

     G
It's time you saw what I want you to see
