Subject: TAB: Pretending (performed by Eric Clapton)
PRETENDING by Jerry Lynn Williams (performed by Eric Clapton)

Don't be pretending about how you feel (3 part harmony when singing)
Don't be pretending that your love is real (the word 'pretending')

E5Pretending, Em7pretending
APretending, E5pretending
* lick 1 = E D B A G E E (octave lower)
* lick 2 = A B D B G D E
Notes: E5 may be E maj or E min, it isn't clear. The rythm plays E5 and
the solo sometimes plays major 3rd sometimes minor 3rd.
Also, the its not clear if the Em7 is an Em7 or a G with an E in the bass.
I find that these ambiguities are part of the appeal of the song.
