content
As Clapton announced in an interview with George Harrison in 1991 to a Japanese television station , the play is about Clapton's love affair with Pattie Boyd . In contrast to songs like Layla and Bell Bottom Blues with which he returned Boyd's love, here Clapton tries to forget Boyd, confused and angry.
music
The song is written in the key of A minor. In the stanzas, the chords Am7, Dm7, G4 and G7 are used, which Clapton plays as a power chord . For the guitar solos, Clapton used the blues pentatonic in A minor and played on his signature Stratocaster . On the Journeyman version, Robert Cray plays a similar solo.
