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

Chorus.
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.

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.
