(I wanted something that sounded as close to the original as possible, this is pretty darn close, modified from the Clapton version MIDI with some extra notes tossed in by ear from the original Johnson recording. To be "authentic" blues this should be played in 2nd position with bends, but I can't do bends yet so I kicked it up an octive to get the notes without bends, listen to original Cross Roads by Johnson to get the timing, or speed it up for Clapton, the 7 blows are triplets)
