All,

Here are lyrics and chords from olga.net. I will attempt to format it so it makes sense.

MEAN OLD WORLD- Eric Clapton and Duane Allman (recording artists)

TUNING: E B E G# B E, capo 3rd fret

E(2) A E RIFF
This city mean old world, try livin' by yourself
A A E RIFF
This city mean old world, try livin' by yourself
B A E RIFF
Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else

I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go
Guess you don't love me, lovin' mister so and so

SOLO (TWO TIMES)

Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold
Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold
I guess you don't love me, gonna pack my things and go

SOLO (to end)

RIFF:

E ------------0---------0-----0-
B ------3---3----3--------3-----
G# -1/3----3-------3p1-------3---
E --------------------3---------
B ------------------------------
E ------------------------------

CHORDS:
E A B E(2)
E -0--5--7---7---
B -0--5--7---9---
G# -0--5--7---8---
E -0--5--7---0---
B -0--5--7---0---
E -0--5--7---0---

NOTE: This is VERY rough and simplified. Think of it as the "fake book" version.

Enjoy the music!
