I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gotta get ye all
It a pink moon
Yeah a pink moon
 
[Chorus]
Pink pink pink pink pink pink moon
Pink pink pink pink pink moon
 
[Solo]
 
[Verse]
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
None of you stand so tall
Pink moon gotta get ye all
And its a pink moon
Yeah there's a pink moon
 
[NOTE] In addition to fixing the lyrics a bit, I changed the piano "solo"
a bit- I moved it an octave up to make it come out more clearly.
(from Pink Moon, 1972)

the first tuning- DAD.... is used without a capo on the song.

yeah great sounding tab i tuned it to the 1st tuning (No capo) then i de-tuned it and the F***ing string snapped!! why does he have to use so awkard tuning?! grrr RIP Nick Drake.

Ya, it's weird. When trying to play along with the recording, I'm tuned either high or low. Even when trying to play the piano notes by ear on our keyboard, the recorded song is right in between the white and black note.But,I do love the tab, and the best tuning I have found. Be careful tuning up that F#, like trying to defuse a bomb!
