I Looked Away
Derek and the Dominos
from the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
Tabbed by Tiagoon
I tried to make this version simple to play with a guitar and vocals. Therefore, it
hasn't got any licks or solos that go along with the song. Just the simple stuff. Only the
chords and some transitions in tab I thought would be important. I hope you like it (:
