Ray Lamontagne - You Should Belong To Me

i have heard ray play this open in the key of a or with a capo on the 1st fret ( A#/
A# ) , 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 .
