Arranged by Elmore James
Rearranged by Eric Clapton

Clapton uses the following riff, pretty much note-for-note as the introduction
and both solos. If you’re feeling really authentic, substitute a slide
for all the hammer-ons and pull-offs. The lyrics with chords follow…

Introduction
You said you was [C#] hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you [F#] love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
You love him [C#] more when you should love him less.
I pick up be[F#]hind him and take his mess.
When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
He love another [C#] woman and I love you,
But you love [F#] him and stick to him like glue.
When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
Solo
Now you better [C#] leave him; he better put you down.
Oh, I won’t [F#] stand to see you pushed around.
When things go [C#] wrong, go wrong with [G#] you,
[F#] It hurts me, [C#] too. [G#]
Solo
[C] [C#]
