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!
