The little variation you can hear in the intro and
throughout the song on the Cadd9 and Cadd9/B chords
is just lifting your little finger on and off the high E
string in time
Capo 3rd fret
Intro (picked first time through, then strummed):
/ x2
Verse:
I handed him a paper
/
Thick white lines of vapour
Will get that message through
He climbs into his airplane
/
Speeds off from the start lane
The praise is overdue
Chorus:
Above this town from side to side
The letters spreads out open wide
Hope she sees the writer in the sky
But maybe it's a mindless plea
My place on her scale is make believe
I guess I've always been a bit naïve
[Play intro through x1)
Verse:
The pilot makes a last spin
Heads off, disappearing
Into the blue and gray
The job for now is over
Feeling fairly sober
Although it's Saturday
Chorus:
The loneliness is such a weight
So sick of love he's paid to state
Humming Time Has Told Me by Nick Drake
Feels much too ashamed to say
Like vapour trails his heart turns gray
So afraid he too might fade away
Outro: Just repeat the chorus chords and end on Em7
