Forever My Friend by Ray Lamontagne
This is my first tab. I wish I had chosen a less complicated (song for my skill level)
but I still had fun working on it. This version comes from Trouble. I notice that Ray cut
out all transitional parts like what is found in the intro., middle and outro when he 
played this song on David Letterman.

Intro.

D/A             Em/D           F#                     C/D

D/A               C/D                     [ch]Bm/G[/ch]
Who am I          to think I can          go it alone

[ch]Bm/G[/ch]                              A            D
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down

D/A             Em/D           F#                     [ch]Dmaj7/A[/ch]
All             ways            seem to                 hold on

D/A                    C/D                          [ch]Bm/G[/ch]
Lately it seems        like you can't take           anymore

[ch]Bm/G[/ch]                            A           D
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
[ch]Bm/G[/ch]                           A            D
Something tells me girl ths is bringing you down

(Chorus)

Forever the woman that I'm thinking of
Em                          A
I just think if we keep our hearts together
                                                                                Em
                              A                 Em
I just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Em                  A         D/A
Baby we can make this last a lifetime

I just think if we keep our hearts together
Em                               A                     Em
