Hello Old Friend
Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton
No Reason To Cry
1976

I picked up the Cream of Clapton from Columbia House,
so I decided to put this up.  The slide part should be
easy to figure out, so enjoy!

   G     D         C               G
As I was strolling down the garden path
        D      C               G
I saw a flower glowing in the dark
             D      C           G
It looked so pretty and it was unique
         D         C              G
I had to bend down just to have a peek

CHORUS
          Bm7               Am7
Hello old friend (hello old friend)
     C              D             G
It's really good to see you once again
          Bm7
Hello old friend  (hello old friend)
     C              D             G
It's really good to see you once again

G	C	D
G	C	D


I saw you walking underneath the stars
I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are


CHORUS


SOLO

G	C	D
G	C	D


An old man passed me on the street today
I thought I knew him but I couldn't say
I stopped to think if I could place his frame
When he tipped his hat I knew his name


CHORUS 2x

end on G
