Roxy Music - Jealous Guy (Guitar Instrumental Version played by Chris Hampton)

Here is my instrumental version of "Jealous Guy" which was originally written and recorded by John Lennon for his second solo album "Imagine" which was released in 1971. This version is based on the 1981 cover by Roxy Music and the 1987 instrumental version by The Shadows which appeared on the album "Simply...Shadows". "Jealous Guy" is one of the most commonly recorded Lennon songs, with at least 92 cover versions.
I played this using my Fender Stratocaster (Bridge Pickup) with the Zoom G2.1Nu programmed with Echoes From The Past (EFTP Patch A9). Recording was done via USB to my home PC with Cubase.
The backing track was by Karaoke Version and is available here - www.karaoke-ve...
I also used tablature by Phil McGarrick (random275) and can be downloaded from his website - www.philmcgarri...
I hope you enjoy my version
LYRICS:
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eye
I thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
