🎸 Tears In Heaven chords by Eric Clapton

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...


| A    E/G#  |F#m A| D  A   | E   |
Would it be the same   ...

Chorus:
| F#m   | C#/E#  | Em   | F#  |
 I must be strong   ...

|    Bm     |E7sus E7   | A  E/G# |
Cause I know I don't ...

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



Bridge:
| C    G/B   | Am       D    | G  D | Em  D G |
Time can bring you down  ...

| C    G/B   | Am       D   | G    D  | E  |
Time can break your heart Have ...


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!!!!!
