POOR BOY Tuning: Standard Capo 3rd fret This is an updated version from that first posted here. I must acknowledge the use of the Music Sales Nick Drake songbook, whose version whilst similar to my first one was pitched further up the neck and made several improvements; this one features several improvements on the book version, particularly in the use of a capo (which makes it not so impossible to play), but also some of the chords themselves. I'll make no attempt to represent the strumming / picking pattern, but it's pretty obvious from the track. Intro: 57555x x57555 Verse: 57555x 47444x four times 37333x x37333 four times 57555x 47444x "Nobody knows..." x0565x x0454x x0343(3) x02420 twice "Oh poor boy.." x02220 x00020 2x023x (x4; you can do the riff as 023 on B string) (there's a major seventh in the third chord - can't decide whether 2x022x is better for solo guitar. see what you think) "he may say every day" 020200 020100 x2 Tabbed by Chris Healey
