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  (XX0232)
Bm (X24432)
A  (X02220)
G  (320003)
Em7(020000)

repeat A and D to fade.

and now here are the chords for C:

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
(pulpalittlesoul@yahoo.com) 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!
