Words and Music - Nick Drake This is not written in the 'official' tuning and I've no idea what that even was, or what chords Drake might have used. This is simply a version in record.

D                    Em7
  I never felt magic crazy as this

D                             Em7
  I never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea

D                             Em7
  I never held emotion in the palm of my hand

D                              Em7
  Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree

  Been a long time that I'm blown

  Through the people I have known
