Tears in Heaven

Difficulty: Moderately easy

Quick Summary

This song explores themes of longing, sorrow, and the struggle to come to terms with a tragedy. It reflects Clapton's grief and heartbreak over the loss of his son, and poses questions about love, life, and the afterlife, and is a real tear-jerker. This two part version is harmonised almost throughout with mostly the same rhythm in both parts.
