                                     Thanks to Jared White for
                                     the tuning
 
 
 
 The 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)
 D----7---7---7---7-----5---5---5---5-------
 A----7---7---7---7-----5---5---5---5-----
 D----7---7---7---7-----5---5---5---5------
 
 
 Chorus :
 --------
 
 F#-----0--0--0----0--0--0------0--0---0--0------------
 D------0--0--0----0--0--0------0--0---0--0------------
 G------2--2--2----0--0--0--0---2--2---2--2------------
 D------0--0--0----2--0--0--0---0--0---0--0-----------
 A------0--0--0----0--0--2--0---0--0---0--0----------
 D------0--0--0-------------0---0--0---0--0---------
 
 It's a pink moon... yeah...it's a pink moon
 
 
 
 F#--0-0--0-0-----------------------------------
 D---0-0--0-0----------------------------------
 G---0-0--0-0---etc------------------------------
 D---2-2--2-2-------------------------------
 A---2-2--2-2------------------------------
 D---2-2--2-2--------------------------------
 
 Pink pink pink pink .......
 
 
 These bits repeat a few times - the only other section is
 the instrumental bit where the piano comes in.
 
 The chord sequence for this is :
 
 
 F#--0--0-----0--0--------------0----------------
 D---0--0-----0--0------0--0----0-----------------
 G---2--2-----0--0------0--0----2----------------
 D---0--0-----2--2------0--0----0--------------
 A---0--0-----2--2------5--5----0-------------
 D---0--0-----2--2------5--5----0---------------
 
 
 That's about all ....
 
 Hope you like it !

 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. 
 
 Introduction:-
 
 F#||-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||
 D ||-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||
 G ||-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0/2--.||

 A ||-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||

 ||-7-9-7-9-7---5-7-5-7-5---||
 ||-7-7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5-5--.||

 ||-7-7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5-5---||
 ||-7-7-7-7-7---5-5-5-5-5---||
 
 Chorus:-
 
 Introduction followed by:-
 
 ||-0-----0-----0-0-0-0-0-0------||
 ||-0-----0-----0-0-0-0-0-0------||
 ||-0-----2-----0-0-0-0-0-2-----.||
 ||-0-----4-----2-0-2-0-2/4-----.||
 ||-2-----0-----0-0-0-0-0-0------||
 ||-2-----0-----0-0-0-0-0-0------||
 
 Solo:-
 
 ||---------------|-----------------||
 ||---------------|-----------------||
 ||-2-------------|-0-----------2--.||
 ||-4-2-0---------|---4-2-0---0-0--.||
 ||-------4-2---2-|---------2-------||
 ||-----------5-2-|-----------------||
 
 (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  
 ===========      ===========      ===========
 | | | | | |      | | | | | |      | | | | | |

           |=|=|=|=|=|      |=|=|=|=|=|
 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

 Together with the intro chords.
 
 
 Tabbed out by Mike Healey
 (michael.healey@balliol.oxford.ac.uk)
 
 
 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.
                   Ethan H.
