Drake Nick - Pink Moon Tabs

Here's my transcription of Pink Moon, please tell me if you think 
it's wrong!

Pink Moon - Nick Drake


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). 

Intro:-

O O     O O      O O   O O O      O O O O O O  
| | | | | |      | | | | | |      | | | | | |

| | 4 | | |      | | | | | |      | | | | | |

Verse:-

          |=|=|=|=|=|      |=|=|=|=|=|
7th fret  2 2 2 2 2 2      2 2 2 2 | 2
          |=|=|=|=|=|      |=|=|=|=|=|
          | | | | | |      | | | | 4 |
          |=|=|=|=|=|      |=|=|=|=|=|

And the same patterns at the 5th fret.

Chorus:-

    O O O O

4 5 | | | |
|=|=|=|=|=|

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)].

And that's about all I know. I picked up most of this stuff from a 1988
article in Frets magazine, which helped me immensely. The rest I figured
out myself by transcribing Nick Drake's songs, or attempting to. I really
wish someone would publish a tab book of his stuff. But as I understand,
he never took the trouble to do this himself during his all too brief life,
and no one has bothered to do it since, probably because it wouldn't sell
millions of copies. I hope this info helps you. Let me know if you have
any questions.
