Lady By Little River Band Tabbed by Nick C. I didn't see a tab of this that I liked, so here's my version. This is my first time tabbing something this large, but any feedback is good feedback. I tried to get the timing of the lyrics as close as possible, but sometimes it wasn't possible, so listen to the song for all the right timings.

It's hard to hear what it does on the D and E chords, but I just improvise a fingerpicking pattern. Acoustic guitar strums the chords.
