Tears In Heaven tab - eric clapton

From: dotson@yerkes.uchicago.edu (Jessie Dotson)

I fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern].  There are a couple of places where a
chord only gets 1 beat - I usually just squeeze the chord [pluck the 4
strings I would've picked simultaneously].

Verse:
| A       E/G#    |F#m  A| D   A      | E     |
Would you know my name   if I saw you in Heaven


| A       E/G#    |F#m  A| D   A      | E     |
Would it be the same     if I saw you in Heaven

Chorus:
| F#m      |  C#/E#   | Em      | F#   |
  I must be strong     and carry on

|       Bm          |E7sus E7      | A   E/G# |
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

         | F#m  A | D  E7sus E7|  A  |



Bridge:
| C       G/B     | Am              D       |  G   D | Em   D G |
Time can bring you down   Time can bend your knees

| C       G/B     | Am              D     |  G       D   | E    |
Time can break your heart  Have you beggin  please beggin please


There's more lyrics - but this'll give you the basic chord structure.
The |'s are my attempt at giving a mild sense of rhythym - there's
4 beats between |'s.  G/B means a G chord with a B in the bass.
I finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape
with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string.  Like this:

      C#/E#                     The E/G# is the same thing played at the
  --X-X------                   4th fret
  T | | 1 | 2
  -----------
  | | | | 3 |

Eric's version is of course full of little runs and such!  I hope this
helps get you started!!!!!

[Lyrics] Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton
Edit: after viewing a lot of comments saying it's because he lost his 5 year old son, it's actually his 4 YEAR OLD son, just to clear that up (: "Then, on 20 March 1991, Conor, who was four years of age, died when he fell from the 53rd-story window of his mother's friend's New York City apartment, landing on the roof of an adjacent four-story building. Clapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven"," A nice relaxing song with lyrics ~Peach Enjoy, rate, comment~...
