WORDS (with the relevant part a or b of the verse rhythm):-

Verse 1:-

a:   You can say the sun is shining if you really want to
b:   I can see the moon and it seems so clear
a:   You can take the road that takes you to the stars
b:   I can take a road that'll see me through
b:   I can take a road that'll see me through

Verse 2:-

a:   You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
b:   I can take a road that'll see me through
b:   I can take a road that'll see me through
b:   I can take a road that'll see me through

NOTES:-

I've not bothered to type in the timing of the notes, but it's very
easy to figure out just by listening to the CD; at least you'll know
where to put your fingers...

There are places in the song where there are minor variations, but I
think it's nicer if you just put these in for yourself. Whatever Nick
Drake was at the time of Pink Moon, he certainly wasn't a
perfectionist
in terms of rigid guitar playing. Keep it sounding scruffy and loose
and
you won't go far wrong.
