Ray Lamontagne - Hey Me Hey Mama
This tab adds the C7 transition to the F that can be heard on every video on
youtube but is missing from
other tabs I've referenced while learning this song myself. Hope you all
enjoy it, check out this video if
want to hear the magic way that Ray does it.

F F7 G G7 C C7
t = thumb (watch Ray do it)
Each line of the verse is 2 measures of 4/4 for each line of the phrase,
strummed with some swing to it.
You can play around with switching between F to F7 and G to G7 during the
verses. Also, work in
some 4th, 5th and 6th string hammer-on's to magnify the folky blues of the
prevailing 7th chord
nature of this song.
For example (and don't forget to add some swing to your strumming here):
m = muted strum (use right hand to subtly mute the strings just to the left
of the
bridge on the up-strokes, or just play the up-stroke really lightly)
d = down strum
u = up strum
