Before You Accuse Me Taken from his 1989 album Journeyman this is Eric Clapton’s cover of a Classic Bo Diddley (born Ellas McDaniels) song. Bass performance Nathan East Tab by bass50611. Played this with my Rock Band for several Years and Although not as original, it always went down well with the crowd.
