Eric Clapton – Man In Love (Guitar)

Chords

NOTES: This is a catchy little blues shuffle from Eric's "Money and Cigarettes" album which was released in 1983. This song has three guitars playing - two doing the blues riff patterns and one playing the licks and fills. The chords and blues riff are tabbed here, but I haven't tabbed any of the licks. Here are the different blues riffs in the song (play them during the appropriate chords):

 "E" Riff            "A" Riff           "B" Riff
|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|

|---2---4---2---4--|-0---0---0---0----|-2---2---2---2----|
|-0---0---0---0----|------------------|------------------|

* At each of the spots with an "A*" both guitars play two quick A-chord stabs. Intro: play "E" Riff alone 4x, then 2nd guitar joins in with chords. Verse 1:

E                     A*  E                    A*
You're always in my hair, you keep me feeling fine

E       
I celebrate each time I realize you're really mine

Chorus:

E            A
Cause I'm a man in love

          E
Yes I'm a man in love

          B
I tell it everywhere I go

           A
I want the whole world to know

           E
That I'm a man in love

Verse 2:

E                A*   E                     A*
I used to be so sad, like a dog without a bone

E
And then you showed me something, baby I had never known

Chorus:

E         A
Oh I'm a man in love

      E
I'm a man in love

          B
I tell it everywhere I go

           A
I want the whole world to know

           E
That I'm a man in love

(Solo - use same chords as verse & chorus) Verse 3:

E                       A*  E                  A*
Well I love to see you walk up and down the street

E
You look so pretty baby, from your head down to your feet

Chorus:

E      A
I'm a man in love

          E
Yes I'm a man in love

          B
I tell it everywhere I go

           A
I want the whole world to know

           E
That I'm a man in love

Verse 4:

E                            A*    E                       A*
Well the minutes seem like hours, and the hours seem like days

E
And the days they seem like years every time you go away

Chorus:

E      A
I'm a man in love

           E
Yes I'm a man in love

          B
I tell it everywhere I go

           A
I want the whole world to know

           E
That I'm a man in love

E
Yes I'm a man in love....
