在摇滚与布鲁斯的漫长历史中，有一些歌曲，它们不仅是旋律与歌词的结合，更是创作者灵魂深处情感的真实写照。Derek and the Dominos乐队的《Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad》就是这样一首作品。

这首歌收录在乐队那张传奇性的双专辑《Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs》中。这张专辑的诞生配景充满了Eric Clapton对朋友George Harrison之妻Pattie Boyd的复杂而痛苦的单恋。这种无法言说的深情和由此带来的巨大失落，成为了专辑中许多歌曲，包含这首《Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad》最核心的情感驱动力。它由Eric Clapton与乐队键盘手Bobby Whitlock共同创作，字里行间充满了对恋爱痛苦实质的追问和对逝去或弗成得之爱的无奈与挣扎。

歌词直白地表达了分手或失恋后的心境：“Got to find me a way, Take me back to yesterday”（我必须找到一种方式，带我回到昨天），“How could I ever hope to forget you?”（我怎么可能忘记你？）。副歌部分反复叩问“Why does love got to be so sad?”（为什么爱总让人心碎？），这句简单的疑问凝聚了无数失意人的共鸣。歌曲中将自己比作“飞蛾扑火”（Like a moth to a flame）、“无名的歌谣”（Like a song without a name），形象地描绘了爱恋中的迷失与身不由己。末段的歌词甚至带着一丝绝望与不睬智：“I might have to break the law when I find you”（当我找到你时，我可能会不惜犯法），“You know I can't go on living without you”（你知道我没有你活不下去）。这种爱到极致的偏执与痛苦，通过Clapton充满力量而又不失感性的嗓音，以及乐队丰满的演奏淋漓尽致地展现出来。

从我们手上的**《Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad》吉他乐谱**（或者更准确地说，是和弦谱）来看，这首歌的编排相对直接，但在情感表达上非常有层次。乐谱提供了两种分歧的和弦走向（Dm转Am），这可能是分歧版本或分歧演奏者的习惯，但核心的忧郁布鲁斯根基是一致的。无论是Dm-C-Bb-F-A的进行，还是Am-G-F-C-E的进行，都巧妙地运用了大小调和弦的交替以及属和弦（A或E）到主音和弦（Dm或Am）的解决，营造出一种既有追问又有叹息的氛围。

对于希望弹奏这首歌曲的吉他手或贝斯手来说，掌握这些基础和弦是第一步。更重要的是要抓住歌曲的情绪和律动。虽然乐谱是和弦谱，但它提示了歌曲的结构：主歌、副歌、以及独奏部分。Derek and the Dominos的版本中，Clapton和Duane Allman的双吉他solo是亮点之一。尽管提供的乐谱没有详细的solo指法，但它提示了solo的时长（“Solo on Verse Six Times”, “Solo on Chorus Over And Over”），这意味着这里有足够的空间进行布鲁斯味道十足的即兴演奏。弹奏时，可以尝试加入一些切音（muting）和推弦（bending）技巧，让和弦进行和旋律更富表示力。贝斯手则可以在和弦根音的基础上，加入一些简单的经过音或切分节奏，为歌曲提供坚实的低音支撑和律动。

总而言之，《Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad》是一首通过简单结构承载复杂情感的典范。借由这份**《Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad》吉他乐谱**，我们可以更近距离地感受Clapton和乐队在那个特定时期内心的波澜。无论是弹奏还是聆听，它都深刻地提醒着我们，爱可以带来极致的美好，也可以带来刻骨的伤痛，而音乐，则成为了承载这一切的最好载体。

Like a moth to a flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you
Like a bird on the wing
I've got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you ...CHORUS
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you
Stop running away
I've got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you ...CHORUS
(from Layla, 1970)
