 Here's the intro to the original Old Love found on the Journeyman CD.
 Use clean tone and reverb for the rhythm parts, which are of course played
 on a Strat with one of the warmer pickups (probably neck). I'm not sure what
 Eric uses for the lead parts, but a bridge pickup with a bit of distortion
 should do. Enjoy.

 		Am7     Dm7			Gsus4  G
 			I can feel your body
 		Am7	F/Dm7			Gsus4  G
 			When I`m lying in bed
 		Am7     Dm7                  Gsus4  G
 			There's too much confusion
 		Am7     F/Dm7        Gsus4             G
 			Going around through my head
 
 			F                        E7
 			And it makes me so angry
 			                             Am Am- Am7 D7
 			To know that the flame still burns
 			F                     E7
 			Why can't I get over?
 			                 F      E7 . . . .
 			When will I ever learn
 
 			    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G           Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G
 			Old love,         leave me alone
 			    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G        Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G
 			Old love,         go on home
 
 		Am7     Dm7                 Gsus4  G
 			I can see your face
 		Am7     F/Dm7			     Gsus4  G
 			But I know that it's not real
 		Am7     Dm7                  Gsus4  G
 			It's just an illusion
 		Am7     F/Dm7                        Gsus4  G
 			Caused by how I used to feel
 
 			F                        E7
 			And it makes me so angry
 			                                   Am AM- Am7 D7
 			To know that the flame will always burn
 			F                    E7
 			I'll never get over
 			                           F      E7 . . . .
 			I know now that I'll never learn
 
 			
 			    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G           Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G
 			Old love,         leave me alone
 			    Am7 Dm7 Gsus4 G        Am7 Dm7  Gsus4 G

 Hi
 
 Here's the tab for Old Love including one of my absoulute
 favourite guitarsolos!
 I wrote this one in notepad, so it's best if you run it there too.
 Use Lucida Console, size 8.It will look ok then.
 
 All Righty then, here we go!;
 
 Old Love
 
 The main riff goes something like this:
 
                  Am Dm7  G7sus4 G
 e-----------------5--5-5--3-3---3-----||
 B-----------------5--6-6--3-3---3----*||
 G-----------------5--5-5--5-5---4-----||
 D-----------------7--7-7--3-3---5----*||
 A------0-3-0----0---------5-5---5-----||
 E--0-3-------3------------3-3---3-----||
 
 Now the SOLO:
 (' in the beginning means bend 1/4 step)
