Nick Drake - Way to Blue

from "Five Leaves Left" (1969)

[The other chord chart posted here has some errors, which I think I've
corrected. I also tried to give a slightly more nuanced representation of the background 
orchestration. The sus chords are cru1cial for capturing the feel of the original tune.]
