• Song:

    You Should Belong To Me

  • Artist:

    Ray Lamontagne

I have heard Ray play this open in the key of A or with a capo on the 1st fret (A#/
Bb), probably depending on where his voice is on a given day.  I prefer to play 
this in the key of C and have written the tab accordingly.  

Listen to the song to get the strumming pattern.  I had some trouble with the 
formatting to get the musical and lyrical phrasing right so listen to the song to 
get a better sense of both.

The first time I saw your face

I must admit I was feeling just a little bit out of place

so young and stupid didn't have no plans

G   Am           Bm              Am         
I was just walking in the sand 
G   Am            Bm           Am                  
walking with my shoes in my hands 
G        Am               Bm          Am    
I was young and stupid didn't have no plans baby

And you're so pretty with your hair all a mess

your eyes so bright and full of happiness
F Fsus2                              C       Csus4
and I could not find the words to tell you how you are 

G        Am     Bm   Am
making me feel inside
G      Am              Bm                 Am              
I just stood there before you and smiled

Dm              
When you're my, my baby
Em                                       Dm
When you're my sweet, my sweet, my sweet little baby

I do believe those were happier times 
Am                                 E
wander through these streets with open minds 
F        Fsus2       C           Csus4
innocent hearts, unclouded eyes 

G        Am                   Bm               Am
Yes, I do believe that those were happier times 
G             Am              Bm           Am
wander through the streets with open minds

Verse 4:

C Csus4      F Fsus2
I remember yesterdays 
Am                                                    E
the hours we spent together and the games we used to play 
F Fsus2               C       Csus4
one thing I have learned, oh it hurts me to say baby
G             Am             Bm           Am
you can never never never never go back again 
G    Am      Bm        Am     G    Am      Bm        Am
Oh, you can never never never really go back again
