Hey guys,
     What's going down?  As promised, here's some Clapton stuff.  It was
a pain in the @#$*(*(&^ to get this (I have this quota problem), but oh
well.  Send any more requests to me.

I fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern].  There are a couple of places where a
chord only gets 1 beat - I usually just squeeze the chord [pluck the 4
strings I would've picked simultaneously].

Verse:
| A       E/G#    |F#m  A| D   A      | E     |
Would you know my name   if I saw you in Heaven


| A       E/G#    |F#m  A| D   A      | E     |
Would it be the same     if I saw you in Heaven

Chorus:
| F#m      |  C#/E#   | Em      | F#   |
  I must be strong     and carry on

|       Bm          |E7sus E7      | A   E/G# |
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

         | F#m  A | D  E7sus E7|  A  |



Bridge:
| C       G/B     | Am              D       |  G   D | Em   D G |
Time can bring you down   Time can bend your knees

| C       G/B     | Am              D     |  G       D   | E    |
Time can break your heart  Have you beggin  please beggin please


There's more lyrics - but this'll give you the basic chord structure.
The |'s are my attempt at giving a mild sense of rhythym - there's
4 beats between |'s.  G/B means a G chord with a B in the bass.
I finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape
with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string.  Like this:

      C#/E#                     The E/G# is the same thing played at the
  --X-X------                   4th fret
  T | | 1 | 2
  -----------
  | | | | 3 |

Eric's version is of course full of little runs and such!  I hope this
helps get you started!!!!!

Let's see -- I've been playing this for years.  Great tune.  You need
to really keep the bass line going.  Play the verse in open position.
I go up the neck for the refrain, working my way back down and ending
in open position again.  There are some nice little runs.  If I get a
chance, I'll TAB some of them.  This should all be in the TAB for the
"Crossroads" compilation, but I haven't laid out the bucks for that
yet.

I use dots to mark beats.

Verse:
        D... D/C... D/B... D/A... F... C...D..C D...

Refrain:
        G... .... A... .... D... .... Em... .... 
      weary and I just ain't go-t the time

        G...      D/F#. Em. D... ....  
      can't find  my    way home.

Wonderful Tonight is in the key of G.

Verses
G  D  C   D   G  D  C  D

Chorus
C  D   G step down to Eminor

When I say step down I mean follow this progression.
 
Fret1 Fret2 Fret3     Fret1 Fret2     Fret1 Fret2
-----|-----|--o--|   |-----|--o--|   |-----|-----|
-----|-----|-----|   |-----|-----|   |-----|-----|
-----|-----|-----|   |-----|-----|   |-----|-----|
-----|-----|-----|   |-----|-----|   |-----|--o--|
-----|--o--|-----|   |-----|-----|   |-----|--o--|
-----|-----|--o--|   |-----|--o--|   |-----|-----|

        G             I'm not sure       Eminor
                      of the name

TABS for Wonderful Tonight:

Theme:  G - - - / D - - - / C - - - / D - - -/
	G - - - / D - - - / C - - - / D - - -/


G		    D       C			  D
   It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wair

G		   D       C     	    D
   She puts on her make-up, and brushes her long blonde hair

C		D       G     D        Em
   And then she asks me, do I look all right

	  C		D	    G(theme played twice)
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight


After 2.verse:

       C            D		    G  	       D       Em
I feel wonderful, because I see the love-light in your eyes

	 C 	      D 	      C		    D               G(theme)
then the wonder of it all is that you just don't realise how much I love you




I hope this is enough to help you.
