Blues Before Sunrise  Eric Clapton

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 A while back, I posted the opening TAB to this song; this version also has
 the second solo (which ends the same as the first, but the lead-in is
 different) and full lyrics and chords for the verses. Share and enjoy.

 I have the [C#] blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes.
 I have the [F#7] blues before sunrise, tears standing in my [C#] eyes.
 It was a [G#7] miserable feeling, now babe,
 [F#7] A feeling I do des[C#]pise. [B] [Bb] [A] [G#]
 
 I have to [C#] leave, leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong.
 I have to [F#7] leave you baby, because you know you done me [C#] wrong.
 I'm gonna [G#7] pack up and leave you darling
 [F#7] And break up my happy [C#] home. [B] [Bb] [A] [G#]
 
 I'm gonna [C#] leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone.
 I'm gonna [F#7] leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all a[C#]lone.
 I'm gonna [G#7] pack up and leave you darling,
 [F#7] Because you know you done me [C#] wrong. [B] [Bb] [A] [G#]
