"Let It Be Me" - Ray LaMontagne Tabbed by: Josh Gilmore Email: 20minutes(at)gmail.com This is a truly fantastic song from Ray LaMontagne. I hope this helps you play along! Enjoy! NOTES: Throughout the song, there are a lot of bass walk-ups and walk-downs that might confuse what you hear. I noted where most of them are. You can play the bass walks if you like, or leave it to the bassist. If you are playing solo, you will be better off simply playing the chords. Also note that the chords are approximate to where they are played in the song. The chords at the beginning of each line come in a bit before the vocals.
