May You Never
"Slowhand"
May You Never
! (Eric Clapton)
! 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! **
