Here's the intro to the original Old Love found on the Journeyman CD.
Use clean tone and reverb for the rhythm parts, which are of course played
on a Strat with one of the warmer pickups (probably neck). I'm not sure what
Eric uses for the lead parts, but a bridge pickup with a bit of distortion
should do. Enjoy.
Rhythm:
r.1 Am7 Gsus4 r.2 Am7 Gsus4
[Dm7/A] [G] [Dm7/A][G]
Lead (you can figure out the timing, I added r.1 and r.2 as guides):
(r.2)
(r.1) (r2)
And, for your convenience, here's the rough guide to the chords,
directly ripped off another tab :)

[Am7] [Dm7]I can feel your body[Gsus4][G]
[Am7] [F/Dm7]When I`m lying in bed[Gsus4][G]
[Am7] [Dm7]There's too much conf[Gsus4]usion[G]
[Am7] [F/Dm7]Going around [Gsus4]through my head[G]
[F]And it makes me so angry[E7]
To know that the flame still [Am]bur[Am-]ns[Am7][D7]
[F]Why can't I get over?[E7]
F E7 . . . .
When will I ever learn
Old [Am7]love[Dm7], [Gsus4] [G]leave me alo[Am7]ne[Dm7][Gsus4][G]
Old [Am7]love[Dm7], [Gsus4] [G]go on hom[Am7]e[Dm7][Gsus4][G]
[Am7] [Dm7]I can see your face[Gsus4][G]
[Am7] [F/Dm7]But I know that it's not real[Gsus4][G]
[Am7] [Dm7]It's just an illusion[Gsus4][G]
[Am7] [F/Dm7]Caused by how I used to feel[Gsus4][G]
[F]And it makes me so angry[E7]
To know that the flame will always [Am]bur[Am-]n[Am7][D7]
[F]I'll never get over[E7]
