Biography:
Nick Drake (Nicholas Rodney Drake, Rangoon, Burma, June 19, 1948 - Tanworth-in-Arden, England, November 25, 1974) was an English folk singer known for his gentle, enigmatic songs and his virtuosic right-hand finger picking technique.
Although he recorded only three albums, critics and fellow musicians hold his work in very high esteem. Drake failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime and had a strong aversion to performing. Since his death, however, Drake's music has gained a significant cult following.

(that's just the basic thing what i hear - but i play it differently,
i think he improvised a lot so feel free to play it as you want.)
Am Am/G
Well I wake up in the morning
Am/F E
Look at my clock
Am Am/G
It's way past noon time
Am/F E
Now I'm late for work.
F
Tell me, tell me
E
What have I done wrong?
(intro)Am Am/G F E IMPROVISE!!!
Ain't nothing go right with me
Must be I've been smoking too long.
[Verses]
Well I go to find me some breakfast
But I ain't got no food
Take me a shower
But the water don't feel no good.
I've got opium in my chimney
No other life to choose
Nightmare made of hash dreams.
Got the devil in my shoes
Well when I'm smoking
Put my worries on a shelf
Don't think about nothin'
Try not to see myself.
Well in this blues I'm singin'
There's a lesson to be learned
Don't go around smokin'
Unless you want to get burned.
