Nick Drake Clothes Of Sand

tom: G G2 F G2 F G2 F G2 Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand? Eb7M D2 Who has taken you far from my land? G2 F G2 Who has said that my sayings are wrong Eb7M D2 G2 And who will say that I stayed much too long CHORUS: Eb7M F G2 Clothes of sand have covered your face Eb7M D2 Given you meaning but taken my place Eb7M F G2 G2 G2 So make your way on down to the sea Eb7M D2 G2 F G2 Something has taken you so far from me Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies To see the earth through painted eyes To look through panes of shaded glass See the stains of winter's grass? Can you now return to from where you came Try to burn your changing name Or with silver spoon and coloured light Will you worship moons in winter's night CHORUS: Clothes of sand have covered your face Given you meaning but taken my place So make your way on down to the sea Something has taken you so far from me G2 F NOTES: My ear isn't good enough to give the full picking pattern, but listen to the record and you can get very close. It is important to emphasise the base note (the bottom note of each chord). Also, before playing the Eb7M chord, always hit the 6th string open base note first (D ) then the Eb base note then the rest of the picking pattern.
