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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Basically, it's just a bass line C >> B >> A >> D for
the main part of the song thusly:
Well there was a man,
C B A D
lived in a shed
C B A D
Then for the other part:
When it rained, he felt so bad
C G/B Am G
When it snowed, he felt just simply sad
C G/B Gm/Bb Gsus2/A
Well there was a girl who lived nearby
Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh
But she lived in a house so very big and grand
For him it seemed like some very distant land
So when he called her
His shed to mend
She said I'm sorry you'll just have to find a friend
Well this story is not so very new
But the man is me, yes, and the girl is you
So leave your house--come into my shed
Please stop my world from raining through my head
Please don't think
I'm not your sort
You'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought
