Biography:
Nick Drake (Nicholas Rodney Drake, Rangoon, Burma, June 19, 1948 - Tanworth-in-Arden, England, November 25, 1974) was an English folk singer known for his gentle, enigmatic songs and his virtuosic right-hand finger picking technique.
Although he recorded only three albums, critics and fellow musicians hold his work in very high esteem. Drake failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime and had a strong aversion to performing. Since his death, however, Drake's music has gained a significant cult following.

HAZEY JANE II- Nick Drake
TUNING: C G C F C E (no capo), can be played in D A D G D F# as well
G1 G2 F1 F2 Em9 D1 D2 RIFF 2 TIMES
Em9
And what will happen in the morning when the world
D1 D2 RIFF
It gets so crowded that you can't look out the window in the morning
Em9
And what will happen in the evening in the forest
With the weasel with the teeth that bite so sharp
D1 D2 RIFF
When you're not looking in the evening
Em9
But all the friends that you once knew are left behind
They kept you so safe and so secure amongst the books
D1 D2 RIFF
And all the records of your lifetime
Em9
What will happen, in the morning, when the world it gets so crowded
D1 D2 RIFF 2 TIMES
That you can't look out the window in the morning?
CHORUS #1:
D1 Em9 D1
Hey, take a little while to grow your brother's hair
D1 Em9 D1
And now, take a little while to make your sister fair
G1 G2
And now that the family is part of a chain
G1 G2 F1 Em7 RIFF B D1
Take off your high shade, start over again
G1 G2 F1 F2 Em9 D1
CHORUS #2:
And now take a little while to find your way in here
Now take a little while to make your story clear
And now that you're lifting your feet from the ground
Weigh up your anchor and have a look round
G1 G2 F1 F2 Em9 D1
D1 Em9 D1
RIFF
Let's sing a song for Hazey Jane, she's back again in my mind
D1 Em9 D1
If songs were lines in a conversation, the situation would be fine

NOTE: I use DADGDF# chord names even though the song is in CGCFCE because
I'm more familiar with DADGDF# names. It's hard to know what's going on
with all the horns on the record, but this is the general gist. I'm not
totally clear on everything. G2 and F2 are especially iffy chords.
