Ride

Nick Drake
Tab
4.8(7)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

INTRO:-

I*3, II*2, III, IV*2

VERSE 1:-

I I know you

I Care too

I I see through

II All of the pictures that you keep on the wall

II All of the people that will come to the ball

CHORUS:-

III But hear me calling, won't you give me

IV A free ride

III Hear me calling, won't you give me

IV A free ride

IV

VERSE 2:-

I I know too

I What you do

I When you're through

II Counting the cattle as they go by the door

II Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor

SOLO:-

V*3, II*2

CHORUS

IV*2.

------------------------------------------------------

I*3, means play Part I three times, etc.

Oddly, the lyrics booklet in my box set has verse 3 with the line

"all of the pictures that keep you on the wall" twice, whereas

this is clearly not what he sings at this point. Maybe those were

the original words which got changed when he recorded the song in

the studio, or more likely, it's another misprint by Hannibal

Records (the booklet is full of them...).
