***********************************************************************
C# G#
What'll you do when you get lonely
C# B Esus
And nobody's waiting by your side?
F# B E Asus
You've been running and hiding much too long.
F# B E Asus
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Chorus:
(Main Riff)
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
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
Solo
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus 2x
Outro
