  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-

  A  -0-  -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.
