Let It Flow chords by Eric Clapton

Chords with lyrics

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 MajorE strings as follows:
B minorBm - based at 7th fret
F#F# - based at 9th fret
D MajorD - based at 10th fret
E MajorE - based at 7th fret
G+G - based at 7th fret
A augmentedA - based at 9th fret

or put another way:

 B minorBm    F#F#    D MajorD    E MajorE    G+G    A augmentedA
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.

 |   BB                E MajorE    BB  A augmentedA    F#7F#7
 - In the sun, the rain, the snow, love is lovely let it grow


 B minorBm       F#7F#7   D MajorD        E MajorE  G+G    A augmentedA
 Looking for a reason to check out an my mind, trying hard to get
  B minorBm         F#7F#7          D MajorD        E MajorE
 a friend that I can count on, but there's nothing left to show,
    G+G      A augmentedA       BB
 plant your love and let it grow.


  CHORUS

 B minorBm        F#7F#7       D MajorD       E MajorE

   G+G    A augmentedA       B minorBm        F#7F#7

  CHORUS


 B minorBm F#7F#7 D MajorD E MajorE G+G A augmentedA ...


B minorBm   F#7F#7   D MajorD  E MajorE
Standin' at the crossroads, tryin' to read the signs

G+G   A augmentedA    B minorBm    F#7F#7
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer

   D MajorD   E MajorE
And all the time I know,

G+G   A augmentedA   BB
Plant your love and let it grow.

BB
Let it grow, let it grow,

E MajorE BB A augmentedA
Let it blossom, let it flow,

BB
In the sun, the rain, the snow,

E MajorE BB A augmentedA
Love is lovely,

A augmentedA F#7F#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.
