Notes: An incredibly sweet little tune from a
magnificently mellow album. It is, after all, only
fortyone seconds long, but is marvelous nonetheless. I
have dispensed with my usual format of
notes/tuning/chords/tab because this song does not
lend itself much to that. 'Meant For You' is actually
played in the key of Db, but I find it much easier to
play it in D, or C. Here are the chords for D:

(Guitar is downtuned 1/2 step:
to D#G#C#F#A#D#)

Chord chart:
D MajorD (XX0232)
B minorBm (X24432)
A augmentedA (X02220)
G+G (320003)
Em7(020000)

Intro: D MajorD
D (2 bars)
B minorBm (2 bars)
A augmentedA (2 bars)
G+G (1 bar)
E minor 7Em7 (1 bar)
D MajorD (2 bars)
B minorBm (2 bars)
E minor 7Em7 (3[!] bars)
A augmentedA (2 bars)
D MajorD (2 bars)

repeat A augmentedA and D MajorD to fade.

and now here are the chords for C:

Capo on 1st fret
Fret numbers relative to capo
C majorC (X32010)

That seems to be it! Phew. Well that wasn't too
difficult. Anyway, I hope that this page proves to be
of some use to you. Do drop me a line
([email protected]) and we'll chat if you have
any questions or clarifications. Remember this is all
from memory so it might be erroneous. I have yet to
purchase the much-heralded 2001 remastered version of
Friends/20/20. I will hopefully get that soon.

byebye!
