Time Has Told Me
Nick Drake
Standard Tuning
I really do apologize for the state of this tab. It could be cleaned up; made "pretty".
It really just hit me one night to learn this amazing song and I could not find
tabs anywhere. So, I wrote up this sketch of what I imagine the song to be.
Its not accurate in any way other than giving someone the FEEL of the song
rather than how to play it.
This is also my first tab I've put up so, please, be gentle.

Verse:
Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
Will find its shore.
Bridge:
So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love.
Verse:
Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn.
Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say.
And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'til there's no more to hide.
Bridge:
So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love.
Verse:
Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore.
