     [Verse]
 
                Abm                            Ebm
                What will you do when you get lonely
                Abm          G       A        B
                With nobody waiting by your side
                C#m         F#          B               E
                You've been running and hiding much too long,
                C#m           F#                B
                You know it's just your foolish pride.
 
 
     [Chorus]

                Am    F     G               Am
                Layla,  I'm begging darling please.
                Am    F   G                 Am              F     G
                Layla,    darling won't you ease my worried mind.
 
 
     [Verse]
                Abm                   Ebm
                Tried to give you consolation,
                Abm       G         A        B
                Your old man won't let you down
                C#m    F#      B                 E
                Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
                C#m        F#                 B
                Turned the whole world upside down
 
 
     [Chorus] x2
 
                Abm                          Ebm
                Let's make the best of the situation
                Abm      G       A    B
                Before I fin'lly go insane.
                C#m          F#        B            E
                Please don't say we'll never find a way
                C#m         F#              B
                And tell me all my loves in vain

I don't know if you guys are at all familiar with this song, but I just played the above chords in an 'unplugged' stlye and sang along quite happily. There's **** all wrong with this TAB, it's actually very good.

You know what you're all complete idiots and just don't know how to tell if the they transposed it or not!! Which they did. It even says so at the top. "TRANSPOSED KEY" in capital letters. If you had any musical talent you might know that. It's written in A minor. Just use the same strumming pattern as clapton (and if you can't hear strumming patterns, you shouldn't be flaming this persons tab) just disregard the... "Oh know the notes don't sound the same this tabs sucks" mentality that you've had and try it again. The real song is played in Dm, give that a try.
