Forever My Friend

	  		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.
