RUN SO FAR Eric Clapton from the album "Journeyman" Transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com) NOTES: This song was written by Eric's friend George Harrison, and it appears on Eric's 1989 "Journeyman" album. The song has several guitar parts, including a rhythm guitar playing the chords, a lead guitar playing the fills, and a slide guitar played by George Harrison. I have transcribed the rhythm guitar part and some of the leads/fills.
