Layla (Eric Clapton)                              
                                                  
(starts on 'A')                                   
                                                  
  What will you do when you get lonely,           
  with nobody waiting by your side?               
  You've been running and hiding much too         
long.    You know it's just your foolish          
pride.                                            
                                                  
[chorus]:                                         
    Layla,     you got me on my                   
    knees, Layla,    I'm begging                  
    darling please, Layla.                        
    Darling won't you ease my worried             
    mind.                                         
                                                  
  Tried to give you consolation,    your          
old man won't let you down.     Like a            
fool, I fell in love with you,    turned the      
whole world upside down.                          
                                                  
[chorus]                                          
                                                  
  Let's make the best of the situation.           
  before I finally go insane.                     
  Please don't say we'll never find a way,        
   and tell me all my love's in vain.
