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
{section: Intro}
picked first time through, then strummed):
[Cadd9] [Cadd9]/[B] [A7Sus4] [G] x2
{section: Verse}
[Cadd9]I handed him a paper
[Cadd9]Thick [B]white lines of vapour
[A7Sus4]Will get that message through[G]
[Cadd9]He climbs into his airplane
[Cadd9]Speeds[B] off from the start lane
[A7Sus4]The praise is overdue[G]
{section: Chorus}
[Em7]Above this town from side to side
[Cadd9]The letters spreads out open wide
[G] [G/f#]
Hope she sees the writer in the sky
[Em7]But maybe it's a mindless plea
[Cadd9]My place on her scale is make believe
[G] [G/f#]
I guess I've always been a bit naïve
[Play intro through x1)
{section: 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
{section: 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
