MAY YOU NEVER
Eric Clapton
from the album "Slowhand"
Transcribed by Steve Garner
This is a cover of a John Martyn song that Eric recorded for
his 1977 album "Slowhand". It's pleasant little tune with
some simple acoustic strumming. This may not be the exact way
that Eric Clapton played it on the album, but it sounds close!
** Capo on the 4th fret! **
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
And may you never lose your temper
If you get hit in a bar room fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
Well you're just like a great strong sister to me
And I know that your love is true
And you hold no blade for to stab me in my back
I know that there's some that do
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
N.C. F
Love is a lesson tonight in our time
Please, won't you please bear it in mind for me
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
And may you never lose your temper
If you get hit in a bar room fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
Well you're just like a great strong brother to me
And I know that your love is true
And you never talk dirty behind my back
I know that there's some that do
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
N.C. F
Love is a lesson tonight in our time
Please, won't you please bear it in mind for me
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
And may you never lose your temper
If you get hit in a bar room fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
May you never lose your woman overnight
May you never lose your woman overnight
Ending: Am G C F C
