             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
(see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBPTuAl2Qyk).

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.
