Place To Be

PLACE TO BE- Nick Drake

TUNING: D A D G A F# (capo third fret)

 

When I was young, younger than before

I never saw the truth hanging from the door

And now I'm older see it face to face

And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place

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

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.
