I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gotta get ye all
It a pink moon
Yeah a pink moon
Pink pink pink pink pink pink moon
Pink pink pink pink pink moon
(SOLO)
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
None of you stand so tall
Pink moon gotta get ye all
And its a pink moon
Yeah there's a pink moon
NOTE: In addition to fixing the lyrics a bit, I changed the piano "solo"
a bit- I moved it an octave up to make it come out more clearly.
(from Pink Moon, 1972)

PINK MOON - Nick Drake
Tabbed by Howard Wright

Thanks to Jared White for
the tuningThe tuning for this song is (from low to high) :
D A D G D F#If you prefer not to stress the top two strings too much, you
can tune to C G C F C E instead, and use a capo on the 2nd fret.
I'll just TAB out the main shapes - it should be easy to see
which bits go where as there are only two or three different bits.Verse bit :
