*ill post the Guitar solo and the Bass tab later , I’m working on Clapton’s whole lead

(opening riff & harmonica)   G    C    G    D    C  G  
GOh Louise, why don’t you hurry home
COh LoGuise, why don’t you hurry home?
DYou made me run from Chicago
COh, Gto the Gulf of Mexico.
(riff)
Now you know Louise,
(riff)
She's like a rolling stone.
(riff)
Every time she leave a man,
(riff)
He has to grieve alone.
COh LoGuise, why don't you hurry home?
DYou know, I never had no good loving,
COh LoGuise, since you've been gone.
(riff)
Got a girl called Mamie,
(riff)
Treat me nice and kind.
(riff)
I don't care what she do
(riff)
Because Louise is on my mind.
COh Louise, Gwhy don't you, why don't you hurry home?
DYou know, I never had no good loving,
COh LoGuise, since you've been gone.
(riff)
Louise ain't so good looking
(riff)
And her hair ain't red,
(riff)
But she cooks my breakfast
(riff)
And I brings it to my bed.
COh LoGuise, why don't you hurry home?
DYou know, I never had no good loving,
COh LoGuise, since you've been gone.
Alright.
(strings instruments play riff during guitar and harmonica solo)
(harmonica solo)
(guitar solo) *I have the solo figured out but ill put it as a separate tab*
-Michael
GOh Louise, why don't you hurry home?
COh LoGuise, why don't you hurry home?
DYou made me run from Chicago
COh, Gto the Gulf of Mexico.
End on G
