IT HURTS ME TOO by Mel London Arranged by Elmore James Rearranged by Eric Clapton Transcribed by Brian Davies (comments to [email protected]) 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... C# F# e|-/9-9-7-|-9~~~~--9-9p7----|-------9-----|------------9-7-------| B|-/9-9-7-|-9~~~~--------9p7h9~~~~----7s5-|----------------7s5---| G|--------|-----------------|-------------|-6p4h6~~~~----------6-| D|--------|-----------------|-------------|-6p4h6~~~~----------6-| A|--------|-----------------|-------------|----------------------| E|--------|-----------------|-------------|----------------------| 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 C# G# F# C# G# e|--------9-9-9-|-13~~~--13-13s9-|-11~~~--13-9s7---|-----------| B|--------------|----------------|---------------7-|-----------| G|-6~~~~--------|----------------|-----------------|-6~~~~~~---| D|-6~~~~--------|----------------|-----------------|-6~~~~~~---| A|--------------|----------------|-----------------|-----------| E|--------------|----------------|-----------------|-----------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 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#] ************************************ | p Pull-off | / Slide up | ~ Vibrato | h Hammer-on | s Slide ************************************
