It Hurts Me Too
IT HURTS ME TOO by Mel London
Arranged by Elmore James
Rearranged by Eric Clapton
Transcribed by Brian Davies (comments to davies@ils.nwu.edu)
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...

You love him more when you should love him less.

I pick up behind him and take his mess.
