_____________________________________________________________________________________- Title: "Change the World" Artist: "Eric Clapton" Album: "Phenomenon Soundtrack" 1996 I got a request for this, so I decided I was up to the challenge. I hope this sounds good. Clapton seems to like the key of E. Have fun, and good luck! Lyrics INTRO: There is another guitar here that I haven't tabbed, but you can figure that one out. I think these two parts are actually two different guitars, but I'm not sure.
