IT HURTS ME TOO by Mel London

Arranged by Elmore James

Rearranged by Eric Clapton

Transcribed by Brian Davies (comments to [email protected])

Clapton uses the following riff, pretty much note-for-note as the introduction

and both solos. If you’re feeling really authentic, substitute a slide

for all the hammer-ons and pull-offs. The lyrics with chords follow…

Introduction

You said you was hurting, almost lost your mind,

And the man you love, he hurts you all the time.

When things go wrong, go wrong with you,

It hurts me, too.

You love him more when you should love him less.

I pick up behind him and take his mess.

When things go wrong, go wrong with you,

It hurts me, too.

He love another woman and I love you,

But you love him and stick to him like glue.

When things go wrong, go wrong with you,

It hurts me, too.

Solo

Now you better leave him; he better put you down.

Oh, I won’t stand to see you pushed around.

When things go wrong, go wrong with you,

It hurts me, too.

Solo
