Let It Be Me chords by Ray Lamontagne

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

"Let It Be Me" - Ray LaMontagne

Submitted by TheDude

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.

Key: Chord diagramFF

This is the main part of the riff.  The intro features a bit more, but this
will get you started.  You can play this anywhere throughout the song, just
switch the ending to whatever chord you land on if other than F.
