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! **

Eric Clapton - tears in heaven ( acoustic guitar cover )
as most of you guys already know ... Sir Eric Clapton composed and dedicated this song to his son after his all for the most tragic death ...
