where Clapton mute-slaps the strings to
keep the beat.*

I looked all over the Internet for a decent
tab of this song, but none seemed to be
quite right. So I decided to transcribe the
tab from Clapton's own fingerwork in the
Youtube videos of Broken-Hearted. This is my
first tab, and I tried to make it as thorough
as possible without going overboard. Feedback
and corrections are welcome!
