 A/E            B1   B2 (this line is part 1)
Voice from the mountain
     D/A            A/E  (part 2)
And voice from the sea
 A/E          B1      B2  (part 1)
Voice in my neighbourhood
      D/A           A/E  (part 2)
And a voice calling me
Asus/G     Asus/F#     A (part 3)
Tell me my friend my friend
Asus/G Asus/F# A  (part 3)
Tell me with love
Asus/G Asus/F#       A  (part 3)
Where can it end it end
Asus/G Asus/F# A  (part 3)
Voice from above          (end on part 1 twice, second time use fancy riff)

The sound on the ocean wave
And a sound in the tree  (add Asus/G Asus/F# A at the end of this line)
Sound in a country lane
Say can you be free
Tell me you crowd you crowd
Tell me again
Tell me out loud out loud
This sound is rain

A/E D/A  A/E D/A  A/E D/A  A/E D/A  (pick free form- even use top E string)

Tune from the hillside
And a tune full of light
A flute in the morning
And a chime in the night
I know the game the game
I know the score
I know my name my name
But this tune is more      (end on part 1 twice)

Voice from the mountain
And a voice from the sea
Voice in my neighbourhood
And a voice calling me
Tell me my friend my friend
Tell me with love
Where can it end it end
This voice from above   (end on part 1 four times and fade)

Voice from the mountain - Nick Drake
Album - Time of no reply

I have figured out how I can play that song and not what Nick's doing. First
of all, I'm not so good at playing, and second, I can't hear it exact enough.
Basically this means that I got the chords right but the picking wrong. (He's
playing so many more notes). Any suggestions welcome.
