version 3
the tuningThe tuning for this song is (from low to high) :
D A D G D F#If you prefer not to stress the top two strings too much, you
can tune to C G C F C E instead, and use a capo on the 2nd fret.
I'll just TAB out the main shapes - it should be easy to see
which bits go where as there are only two or three different bits.Verse bit :
-----------
F#---7---7---7---7-----5---5---5---5------
D----7---7---7---7-----5---7---5---7-------
G----9---7---9---7-----7---5---7---5------- (repeats once)

the instrumental bit where the piano comes in.

version 4
He uses DADGDF# tuning. If you want to avoid breaking too many
strings try tuning to CGCFCE and using a capo at the 2nd fret.

(let all the open strings ring during the solo)
I hope that makes sense... You'll have to work out the rhythm by
playing along to the tape.
To help learn it, here are the chords used during the song. The
numbers on the fretboards represent where you should put your fingers
and the numbers correspond to which finger I use to play it
comfortably (1=thumb, ... , 5=little finger).

Together with the intro chords.
Also, here's a copy of some info I got sent about his odd tunings...
I think I can help you out by relaying some information which helped me
out quite a bit with figuring out Nick Drake's guitar arrangements.
(I've never posted any of the tabs because it's too much of a pain to key in)
Nick Drake used six different altered tunings. They are as follows:
(1)DADGAF# (2)DADGDG (3)CGCFCE (4)DGDDAD (5)DADGDF# (6)DGDGAD
He often capoed, so this can make it a bit harder to figure out which tuning
he is using. I also believe that tuning number 6 was a full tone lower on
some songs [sorry, I mean tuning #5! (CGCFCE).
The tuning he used most often was tuning #5. This is the one he used on
"Which Will", "Parasite", "Hazey Jane"(I & II), "From the Morning",
"Pink Moon", and "Northern Sky". Tuning #1 was used on "Place to Be".
Tuning #2 was used on "Fly". CGCFCE was used to play "Hanging on a Star".
Tuning #4 was used on "Road", and I believe it is used on "Things Behind
the Sun", though I am not sure of the latter fact. I THINK he uses tuning
#6 on "Day is Done", and he definitely uses it on "Clothes of Sand".
I also believe the lowered version of tuning #5 was used on "From the Morning"
and "Which Will".
As far as capo positions go, the ones I know are as follows:
Place to Be [2nd fret], Parasite [2nd fret], Pink Moon [1st fret],
Northern Sky [1st fret], Fly [1st fret], Road [3rd fret], Clothes of Sand
[3rd fret], Day is Done [7th fret (I think)], Things Behind the Sun [6th fret
(I think)].
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.
