   I posted this recently, but it is improved in some points.
(Anyone tried to transpose the D-Bassline and chord two frets up
without breaking her/his fingers?)

Here we go (lyrics from vacs.uwp.edu):

               LAY DOWN SALLY
   (Eric Clapton, Marcy Levy & George Terry)

A
There is nothing ...
                                 D
in wanting you to ...
  A
I know you've got ...
                                        D
but won't you make ...
              E
And don't you ...

       A                   D
      Lay down, Sally, and ...
       E                                  A
      Don't you think you want ...
       A                  D
      Lay down, Sally, no need ...
       E                                       A
      I've been trying all night ...



Basic pattern:
It is possible to play it with the left thumb and middle finger and a
full A chord on the higher strings. They may be strummed occasionally.
The best way to play it is using a plectron and middle finger with the
right hand. Transpose the first two bars to D also. The bar 3 and 4
contain the catch phrase that is only played over A.

Guitar solo over A major (nothing more). It is not complete up to the very

I take no liability for the health of your left hand playing bass
and chords together. It works for me.
