                          PROMISES-Eric Clapton

                    From album: BACKLESS and TIMEPIECES


             (At '*' play F# note to walk up to the G chord, it simultes the
         bass and it's the hook of the song, if you've heard it you will recognize it)

G
I don't care if you never come home
C                                G
I don't mind if you just keep on rolling away on a distant sea cause
D                              *    G
I don't love you and you don't love me.


G
The cause of commotion when you come to town
C
Give 'em a smile and they melt
        G
And the lovers and friends are all good and fine,
    D                                *    G
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.


G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la

G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la


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


C                   G6/B
I've got a problem, can you relate,
Am               G
I've got a woman callin' love hate
C              G6/B
Even in doubt, We'll aways be friends
Am                         G
How could we know that the promises end?

G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la
G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la

G
I try to love you for years upon years,
C
You refuse to take me for real
     G
It's time you saw what I want you to see
    D                              *    G
And I'd still love you if you just like me.

G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la
G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la
G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la
G  C      G           D
La la---- la la la la la
