Malted Milk
Robert Johnson
Eric Clapton
Unplugged
1992
Malted Milk is not a very interesting song to listen to,
but it is a lot of fun to play. There are two parts,
one by Clapton and the other by Andy Fairweather Low,
but I have only tabbed one. The solo is easy too, so
make sure you learn that as well. Good luck!

The verses go like this. Remember that I have only tabbed
one part, so the solo-type stuff you hear isn't tabbed.

LYRICS:
I keep drinkin' malted milk
Tryin to drive my blues away
I keep drinkin' malted milk
Tryin to drive my blues away
Baby you're just as welcome to my lovin'
As the flowers is in May
Malted milk, malted milk
Keep rushin' to my head
Malted milk, malted milk
Keep rushin' to my head
An' I have a funny, funny feelin'
An' I'm talking all out of my head
Baby fix me one more drink
And hug your daddy one more time
Baby fix me one more drink
An' hug your daddy one more time
Keep on stirrin' my malted milk momma
Until I change my mind
Guitar Solo
My doorknob keeps on turnin'
There must be spooks around my bed
My doorknob keeps on turnin'
There must be spooks around my bed
An' I have a funny, funny feelin'
And the hair's risin' on my head
