Run So Far  Eric Clapton

from the album "Journeyman"
Transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)
NOTES: This song was written by Eric's friend George Harrison,
and it appears on Eric's 1989 "Journeyman" album. The song
has several guitar parts, including a rhythm guitar playing
the chords, a lead guitar playing the fills, and a slide
guitar played by George Harrison. I have transcribed the
rhythm guitar part and some of the leads/fills.
