                         MAY YOU 
NEVER (accompaniment) - John Martyn 
& Kathy Mattea

Recording: Transatlantic Sessions

Tabbed by Robert Saunders

This tab is based on what Kathy 
Mattea played to accompany John 
Martyn (who plays in drop D with
capo on 1) in the Transatlantic 
Sessions recording, along with Danny
 Thompson and Jerry Douglas

NB It is not intended to be a tab of
 what John Martyn plays but you can 
use this if you want to
play the song in standard tuning 
instead of drop D.

I’ve only included the chords for 
most of it. For help with the right 
hand picking/slap pattern,
try the following tutorials (both in
 the original drop D tuning):


Standard tuning with capo on 3.


Chords(relative to capo):

G1    355433 (This is a standard G 
major. It's only called G1 to 
differentiate it from the other G 
shape)
F/G   3X3211
C     X32010
C/G   332010
F/A   X03211
G     320003
