Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I've tabbed out this song in the chords that Ray LaMontagne actually uses in the recorded version, but
personally I transcribe the song into the key of A, which makes it easier to sing (oh, to sing like Ray)
and far easier for me to play. In A, I play the song using open chords, and until the bridge at least,
it's just easier. Played in C, I think you basically need to barre the chords. Enjoy!
