Promises
Eric Clapton
*For this song, the more simple version of G with the B string open sounds better (320003)
*In the verses, walk up from the G to the C
*Also, every time you go from a D to G, wrap your thumb around and play the F# on the
low E string right before the G.
*I put the walk ups in parenthesis in the first verse to show that it's a single note
and not a chord.
