 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.
