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! **
M[G]ay y[F]ou n[C]ever lay your [Am]head down
[G]Without a hand to h[C]old
May you n[Am]ever make your b[G]ed out in the co[C]ld[F] [C]
And m[G]ay y[F]ou n[C]ever lose your t[Am]emper
If you get h[G]it in a bar room f[C]ight
May you n[Am]ever lose your w[G]oman overnig[C]ht[F] [C]
Well you're [G]just like a great strong sister to me
And I kn[C]ow that your lo[F]ve is tru[C]e
And you h[G]old no blade for to stab me in my back
I k[C]now that there's s[F]ome that d[C]o
So [G]please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
N.C. F
Love is a lesson tonight in our time
P[G]lease, won't you please bear it in mind for [C]me[F] [C]
And m[G]ay y[F]ou n[C]ever lay your [Am]head down
[G]Without a hand to h[C]old
May you n[Am]ever make your b[G]ed out in the co[C]ld[F] [C]
And m[G]ay y[F]ou n[C]ever lose your t[Am]emper
If you get h[G]it in a bar room f[C]ight

Well you're [G]just like a great strong brother to me
And I kn[C]ow that your lo[F]ve is tru[C]e
And you n[G]ever talk dirty behind my back
I k[C]now that there's s[F]ome that d[C]o
So [G]please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
