Why Does Love (Have to Go Wrong)? – BBM
(Moore/Bruce/Baker)
Around the Next Dream [1994]
E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: varannion
This is another Bruce/Baker/Moore number which replicates a classic Cream performance. In
this case, ‘We’re Going Wrong’ is the track in question. The song features some typically
muscular guitar work by Gary Moore (Gibson Les Paul & Marshall JTM45) with more than a
passing nod to EC. There are two guitar solos here, the second a sixty-five bar outro.
Tuning: standard
