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 a 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
G C
Without a hand to hold
Am G C F C
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
Am G C F C
May you never lose your woman overnight

And I know that your love is true
