         Title : Layla
        Artist : Derek and the Dominos
         Album : "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs"
Transcribed by : Steve Cobham
  Created with : Powertab 

=========================================================

This is a song that's due an overhaul as the versions on OLGA
seem really wrong. The track sounds as if it starts in C#m, 
but the intro riff becomes almost unplayable in that key. 
I've tabbed it as if it starts in Dm which makes everything 
much simpler, but, more importantly, it sounds right too. 
Perhaps the guitars were detuned for the recording. 
I've tabbed the main riffs and worked out the chords. 
If you want the coda, it's pretty easy to work out for yourself.

The program used to write this tab is "Powertab" - simply
the best tab-writing utility I have _ever_ used!

CHORDS AND LYRICS


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

           
CHORUS:         (Dm Bb C Dm X4) 

                Layla, you got me on my knees.
                
                Layla, I'm begging darling please.
                
                Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

               Tried to give you consolation,
               When your old man let you down.
               Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
               Turned the whole world upside down.
        
                CHORUS

               Let's make the best of the situation,
               Before I finally go insane.
               Please don't say we'll never find a way 
               And tell me all my love's in vain.

                CHORUS
