Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Eric Clapton

Text File

This is my impression of what I thought I heard Eric Clapton playing live in concert.
A soulful bluesy rendition is played in a 2 chop per chord method.
This revision could be a good challenge to a novice player but should be playable
by most intermediate players.

Why, oh, why can't I?
