If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day
Eric Clapton
From the album Me and Mr Johnson. Eric often used alternate tuning and slide for this song. This version would be ideal for playing using a simple blues chord progression in standard tuning. Using barre chords with root note on the E 6th string this may help replicate a slide. [Intro] [Verse 1] If I had possession over judgment day If I had possession over judgment day Lord the women I’m loving would have no right to pray [Verse 2] And I went to the mountain far as my eye could see Lord I went to the mountain far as my eye could see Some other man got my woman and the lonesome blues got me [Verse 3] And I rolled and I tumbled cried the whole night long Lord I rolled and I tumbled cried the whole night long And I woke up this morning my biscuit rolling on [Guitar solo] [Verse 4] Had to fold my arms and slowly walked away I didn’t like the way she did Lord I fold my arms and I slowly walked away Well I said in my mind "Your trouble going to come some day" [Verse 5] Well now run here baby get down on bended knee Lord now run here baby get down on bended knee I want to tell you all about the way they treated me Peace and love Kevin
