Ray LaMontagne - Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame)

[billyhay]

ray lamontagne looks like a young john singer sargent

Tune your guitar to Drop D. Capo the first fret. Make an F chord (E shape) except put your middle finger on the low D. Hammer the low D accordingly. The Db adds more atmosphere and bass to the song IMO. =D

i love this song. love the lyrics.

[onetthome]

he should alot more songs like this. faster pace I mean.

[billyjoelinn]

theres a hammer on all he way through the song

Songs just F# but hammer on the E string

he uses his thumb for this, you can see it moving, so best to play the F# like a maj 7th but with your thumb on the Base note. due to this he doesnt use a capo :)

[nalakram17]

guys the song is clearly in F#. Just strum along to song. Like the guy said, capo on 2nd fret if you wanna.

Can anyone help me understand the "Mary Anne" part of this song. Did he turn on this woman (who seems to still want him) because he's so troubled?

[bmanbks]

lol, it's a one chorded song.

[Sixbells56]

Thanks, I knew it was a single chord song (shades of John Lennon), but doesn't it look like he is using C variants on this video? Check out his index finger  Hey it's all good, thanks for the reply!

[bmanbks]

yeah, I see that. All I know is when I play along to it that's what sounds "most accurate" bu then again, Ray is a C fiend so I could just as easily be off. Toughy....

[Sixbells56]

Does anyone know the chord(s) he uses? I was trying to see in this video, looks like he hangs on a C, but what is the second chord. Also does he capo and if so what fret??

[bmanbks]

it's a one chorded song withe E minor chord capo on the second. He's so clever

[crazybeautiful36]

i saw him when he came to houston a few days after this performance..he is nothing short of amazing..i still can't believe i got to see him..

[Sixbells56]

I live in Houston as well, I can't believe I missed him, when was he here?? Does anyone know the chord(s) he uses? I was trying to see in this video, looks like he hangs on a C, but what is the second chord. Also does he capo and if so what fret??

[Mariekesone]

He Rocks..i can't sit still...Awesome Live!

The other musicians, guitars and harmonica add so much flavour to the song....:)

[kuzimm09]

I saw him on nov. 1st in San Dieago. I thought this song was amazing live. He is a really good live artist, but this song in paticular stood out from the album version for me. He just seemed so much angrier live, and that made for a sick performance.

[sw007zone]

i want to marry this man. sigh.

[snboring]

first...your camera is awesome. second...this man is amazing. theres nothing like seeing him live. i saw him the night before this and it was just as amazing. thanks so much for this video!

[MishaRW]

Thanks! You're welcome.

[utubecman]

This dude has a wide range of DAMN good songs with his third album!!!

[cosmiccarl]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN''BOUT!

Album #3 is all about his genre diversity.

Album #2 was his "Astral Weeks"

Album #1 was his masterful debut

and even better are his two lost albums from before when Ethan Johns figured out who Ray was.

[korkeycat]

Whooa wats this about lost two albums, i gotta have them NOW!...Ray is totally awesome....
