CLAPTON ERIC - "tears in heaven6" Tablature

check this out: i tabbed the intro to eric clapton's 'tears in heaven'. the rest of the song is
all fingerpicking too, but its easier just to play the chords down below.
remember, this is a >fingerpicking< intro, so ditch the pick. during the intro, strike the bass
line with your thumb, and then using your index and middle finger together, strike the two higher
notes in unison with the bass. the other tab of this song on guitartabs.cc is amazing, but oddly
it doesn't have the intro!

thats pretty much it. i know i left the other verses and bridge out of the song part at the
bottom, but i figure what you got there is all you really need to know anyways.
knock yerself out!

song:

[A] [E] [F#m]
would you know my name

[A][D] [A] [E]
if i saw you in heaven

[A] [E] [F#m]
would it be the same

[A][D] [A] [E]
if i saw you in heaven

[A][E][F#m] [C#7]
i must be strong

[A7] [F#7]
and carry on

[Bm] [Eopen]
cause i know i don't belong

[A]
here in heaven

[A] [E] [F#m] [A] [D] [A] [E]

second verse, and when you finish the song, end it off with [E7][A] instead of [A][E]
