Here's an awesome song with one of the most recognizable riffs in music.
The verse and chorus to the song are pretty easy, but Clapton has a bitching
solo in there that's quite tough. I'm pretty sure this is right, or atleast
the closest thing to correct I've seen. E-mail me with any comments or questions.

but erm just the riff on riff 1 have this(5th and 4th string):
|1212-10-12-7-6-5-0-3-0-|
or
|77-5-7------------|
|-------7-6-5-0-3-0|
god knows how that'll come out......but its good any how......well done!
One of the main riffs is in chords.
It goes Riff one, just like you have it, but only twice, then instead of doing it another 4 times, its like
---------------------------------------
-10-10-8--10---------------------------
-11-11-9--11-------------------8~ -----
-12-12-10-12--------------10-----10----
------------------12-11-10----------------------------------------------------
~ = vibrato
Trust me it is most definitely a chord, if you listen to the song the sound drastically changes from the first riff to what i have up there, and it is much crunchier, like a chord.
Also i agree with the guy above
the chorus is open chords, A,A,A C G
v ^ v v v
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|-11-11--9-11----------------10~-----|
D|-12-12-10-12-------------12----12---|
A|-12-12-10-12--12--11--10------------|
E|------------------------------------|
i'm not sure if that will come out good. You can figure out the higher part.
