Version 1
                             Tears In Heaven
                             by Eric Clapton

Verse:
] A       E/G#    ]F#m  A] D   A      ] E     ]
Would you know my name   if I saw you in Heaven


] A       E/G#    ]F#m  A] D   A      ] E     ]
Would it be the same     if I saw you in Heaven

] F#m      ]  C#/E#   ] Em      ] F#   ]
  I must be strong     and carry on

]       Bm          ]E7sus E7      ] A   E/G# ]
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

         ] F#m  A ] D  E7sus E7]  A  ]

Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand, if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
`Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.


Bridge:
] C       G/B     ] Am              D       ]  G   D ] Em   D G ]
Time can bring you down   Time can bend your knees

] C       G/B     ] Am              D     ]  G       D   ] E    ]
Time can break your heart  Have you beggin  please beggin please

Instrumental of first two lines, then:

] F#m      ]  C#/E#   ] Em      ] F#   ]
Beyond the door, there's peace for sure
]       Bm          ]E7sus E7      ] A   E/G# ]
and I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.

         ] F#m  A ] D  E7sus E7]  A  ]

repeat 1st verse

]       Bm          ]E7sus E7      ] A   E/G# ]
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

         ] F#m  A ] D  E7sus E7]  A  ]

Fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern].  There are a couple of places where achord
only gets 1 beat -Just squeeze the chord  pluck the 4 strings  simultaneously.


Finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape
with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string.  Like this:

      C#/E#                     The E/G# is the same thing played at the
  --X-X------                   4th fret
  T ] ] 1 ] 2
  -----------
  ] ] ] ] 3 ]

>Chorus:
>] F#m      ]  C#/E#   ] Em      ] F#   ]
>  I must be strong     and carry on
The Em sounds much better if you add a C# with your pinky
(2nd fret at the B string)

Version 2
Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton)

Below are my attempt to reproduce the two main riffs in Tears
of Heaven off Eric Clapton's unplugged album. There is really
only one figuring which is a reach which is the A to Esus2.

     ]_]_1_1_1_1
     ]_]_]_]_]_]
     2_]_]_3_]_]
     ] ] ] ] 4 ]

Play the A as a partial barre  add other three fingers to construct the Esus2.
