Can't Find My Way Home
Eric Clapton / Blind Faith
Word and Music by Steve Winwood
###############################
Parts of it tabbed by Gerd Klaassen for the Slowhand Tab Archive
at http://spot.fho-emden.de/guitar/ecguitar.htm
This one is available in at least two versions:
- on the original Blind Faith Album (also released on Crossroads I) - studio version
- on the Timepieces Vol. II Album (also released on Crossroads II) - live version
Both versions are with two guitars. I tabbed the second because the "lead" picking
guitar is easier to hear and contains a nice solo. And - I have this one on CD...
The tab is not always exact I think, but nice to play.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D/C (and similar other slash chords) means d-chord with additional bass note C. You
can also use just the D chord...
The key is D.

Now following the picking pattern and the keyboards solo starts until
the guitar solo begins at 02:33 min.
Use the following blues scale at the 10th fret for most parts of the solo:
I-10----13--15-I
I-10----13--15-I
I-10--12--14---I
I-10-*12*------I
I-10--12-------I
I-10----13-----I
The solo starts like:
1--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I
I-------------10--------------------------------------------------------6-8-6----------I
I-----10-12~-----12-10-12-10----12-10----12-10--------------------5---7-------7-7------I
I--12------------------------12-------12-------/7-5---------3-5/7---7------------------I
