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!
