I make it sound a little more full.
And the (F F-C C-G G) are all high.
And I don't know if the spacing is correct.
Beautiful song. Enjoy!

About this song: Bell Bottom Blues

a song written by Eric Clapton and performed by Derek and the Dominos. It deals with unrequited love and appears on the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. As Duane Allman's debut does not come until the album's fourth track (the blues standard "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out"), "Bell Bottom Blues" features only Clapton on guitar; Clapton compensates for this by overdubbing rhythm and lead parts. The track is likely the second-best known cut from the album, surpassed only by the famous title track, "Layla".
