Cloud 9
George Harrison with Eric Clapton And Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have my love
It fits you like a glove
Join my dream, tell me yes
Bail out should there be a mess
The pieces you don't need are mine

Take my time
I'll show you cloud nine
Take my smile and my heart
They were yours from the start
The pieces to omit are mine

Have my love
Use it while it does you good
Share my highs but the times
That it hurts pay no mind
The pieces you don't need are mine

I'll see you there on cloud nine

Take my hope
Maybe even share a joke
If there's good to be shown
You may make it all your own




And if you want to quit that's fine
While you're out looking for cloud nine

His slide playing is soooo goddamn smooth. One of the best guitarists to ever grace the planet.

@Legchylo Yanishevskyy Volod To be honest , I don 't remember exactly why I was interested in this question a year ago . If you had asked me then , I would have answered . I think George would play great on any guitar tuned, and which would be convenient to play.
