Let It Grow - Eric Clapton
 
There are already a couple of versions of chords for this song, but I
think
there are more chord changes than most have indicated.  I also tried to
add
a little of the bass lines and the structure of the song.  It's a
wonderful
song and I hope these notes help someone have a lot of fun with it. - km

Verse (Instrumental - repeat to fade)
 

I haven't spent much time on it, but it appears that that wonderful
guitar part is based on playing the chords of the verse on the
G, B, and E strings as follows:
Bm - based at 7th fret
F# - based at 9th fret
D  - based at 10th fret
E  - based at 7th fret
G  - based at 7th fret
A  - based at 9th fret
 
or put another way:
 
  Bm       F#        D        E        G        A
EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE
xxx777   xxxee9   xxxett   xxx997   xxx787   xxx9t9
 
where "e" means "eleven" and "t" means "ten".
 
Try it and see what you think.  I know it's a little more
complex than that, but I haven't had time to figure it out.

Bm     F#7      D   E
Standin' at the crossroads, tryin' to read the signs
 
G      A        Bm       F#7
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer
 
     D      E
And all the time I know,
 
G      A      B
Plant your love and let it grow.
 
B
Let it grow, let it grow,
 
E B  A
Let it blossom, let it flow,
 
B
In the sun, the rain, the snow,
 
E B A
Love is lovely,
 
A F#7
let it grow.
 
 
 
This is the basic structure for the verses and chorus.  For the
instrumental part with the dobro solo, the chords go:  G, D/F#, Em, Bm,
A,
G, Em, Bm, F#, Bm, F#7, D/A, E/G#, G, A
 
This part is sort of difficult to learn, but if you listen to the song it
should become clear eventually.
 
Hope this helps.
