Change The World tab by Eric Clapton (Ver. 2)

Guitar tabs

Title: "Change the World"
Artist: "Eric Clapton"
Album: "Phenomenon Soundtrack"
1996
I got a request for this, so I decided I was up to the challenge.
I hope this sounds good. Clapton seems to like the key of E.
Have fun, and good luck!

Lyrics

INTRO:

There is another guitar here that I haven't tabbed, but you can figure that one out.
I think these two parts are actually two different guitars, but I'm not sure.

This is the basic part behind the verse:

   If I could reach the stars     Pull one down for you
  E    A   E           E    A  E
  +  +  +  +   +  +  +  +   +  +  +  +   +  +  +  +

E:-0-------------0-|-----------------|---0---------0---|-----------------|


   Shining on my heart        So you could see the truth

   Then this love I have inside   is everything it seems

   But for now I find         it's only in my dreams
  E    A   E           E    A   G#
  +  +  +  +   +  +  +  +   +  +  +  +   +  +  +  +

E:-0-------------0-|-----------------|---0-----------4-|-----------------|

Here's the chorus. There isn't much guitar, so just strum this:

     F#m  G#   C#m
That I can  change the world
F#m      G#        C#m
I will be the sunlight in your universe
F#m        G#       C#m  Cm  Bm
You will think my love was really some - thing good
   A  E   G#m Gm F#m
Baby if I could cha - nge the world

Clapton does this after the chorus:

  E    A    E         E       A       E
  +  +  +  +    + + + +  +   +    +   +    +  +    +    +
e:-------------0-----|-------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
B:-------0-----------|-------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
G:---0h1---2-----2/4-|-------------|---2/4----42p0-2--0--------|-----------------------------|
D:---2-----2---------|-------------|----------------------2p0-2-|----------2---------------2--|
A:-------------------|-------------|----------------------------|------2h4-----0h2-0h2-0h2----|
E:-------------------|-------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------|

He continues into another verse, and plays the same as the last verse

Then a chorus, which has a bit added to the end:

That I can change the world
I will be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
   A  C#m  Bm Bbm A   E
Baby if I could cha - nge the world
   A  C#m  Bm Bbm A
Baby if I could cha - nge the world

Here's the solo:

LYRICS:

If I could reach the stars I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside is everything it seems
But for now I find it's only in my dreams


CHORUS
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world


If I could be king even for a day
I'd take you as my queen I'd have it no other way
And our love will rule in this kingdom we have made
Till then I'd be a fool wishin' for the day


CHORUS
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world


GUITAR SOLO


CHORUS
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
