There are places in the song where there are minor variations, but I think it's nicer if you just put these in for yourself. Whatever Nick Drake was at the time of Pink Moon, he certainly wasn't a perfectionist in terms of rigid guitar playing. Keep it sounding scruffy and loose and you won't go far wrong.
