NICK DRAKE - "place to be" Tablature
Official NICK DRAKE Tablature & Sheet Music »
PLACE TO BE- Nick Drake
TUNING: D A D G A F# (capo third fret)
D Em/F# D Em/F#
Em/F# D
When I was young, younger than before
Em/F# D
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
F#m Em/F#
And now I'm older see it face to face
F#m Em/F# D
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place
D Em/F# D Em/F#
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me place to be
(SOLO OF SORTS)
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh so weak in this need for you
CHORDS:
D Em/F# F#m
F# -0- -0- -0-
A -0- -2- -0-
G -2- -0- -2-
D -4- -2- -4-

D -0- -2- -4-
NOTE: While playing D, constantly hammer on and off the second fret note
of the G string. With Em/F#, the second fret note of the lowest D string
is hammered on, then the second fret note of the A string is often
hammered on too. There is much more going on in this song, particularly
the solo, but I figured something is better than nothing. Maybe I'll get
back and do a more detailed version one of these days- anyone else who
wants to try is very welcome to.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NICK DRAKE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
