PLEASE BE WITH ME- Eric Clapton (written by Tommy Talton)
D G D
Oh my word what does it mean?
D G D
Is it love or is it me
Em
That makes me change so suddenly
Bm G D
Looking out feeling free
Sit here lying in my bed
Wondering what is was I'd said
Made me think I'd lost my head
When I know I'd lost my heart instead
CHORUS:
C G D Em
So won't you please read my signs be a gypsy
G D Em
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
G D Bm G D
Because you can't know my mind please be with me
Of all the better things I've heard
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seems so absurd
But in the end it all comes out I'm sure ...CHORUS
NOTE: This was cribbed from the Allman Bros. section. I think it belongs
in Clapton as well.
(from 461 Ocean Boulevard, 1974)

Eric Clapton - Please be with me
I DEDICATE THIS VERSION OF ERIC CLAPTONS "PLEASE BE WITH ME" TO ANJA ... - ... IN EVERLASTING LOVE!
Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, feeling free.
Sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.
Of all the better things I've heard,
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd,
'Cause in the end it all comes out unsure.
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.
Please be With Me (Eric Clapton cover)

Eric Clapton - Layla (studio version)
Layla
by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon
Based on Nizami's 12th century epic poem, "Leyli and Majnun"
What'll you do when you get lonely
And no one's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Chorus:
Layla, got me on my knees,
Layla, Begging, darling please, Layla,
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain
Please be with me / Eric Clapton / wowis cover
