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.
