Capo: 2
From: Harlan L Thompson <harlant@uhunix.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu> FRUIT TREE- Nick Drake TUNING: D A D G D G (capo 2nd fret) or C G C F C F (capo 4th fret) OPENING RIFF, RIFF 1 (2 times) RIFF 2 Fame is but a fruit tree, so very unsound RIFF 2 It can never flourish till its stalk is in the ground RIFF 2 So men of fame can never find a way RIFF 2 RIFF 1 Till time has flown far from their dying day Forgotten while you're here, remembered for a while A much updated ruin, from a much outdated style Life is but a memory, happened long ago Theater full of sadness for the long forgotten show Seems so easy just to let it go on by Till you stop and wonder why you never wondered why BRIDGE:
EbSafe in the womb ofGmaj9/D an everlasting night EbYou find the darkness can gGmaj9/Dive the brightest light EbSafe in your place deGmaj9/Dep in the earth EbThat's when they'll know wGmaj9/Dhat you're really worth
Forgotten while you're here, remembered for a while A much updated ruin, from a much outdated style REPEAT VERSE 1 Fruit tree, fruit tree Noone knows you but the rain and the air Don't you worry They'll stand and stare when you're gone Fruit tree, fruit tree Open your eyes to another year They'll all know That you were here when you're gone OPENING RIFF (very rough guess): G ---------0-------------0-------------0-------------| D -------3---3---------3-------------4---4-----------| G -----0-------0-----0-------------2-------2---2-----| (repeat) D -0-3-----------3-2-------3-2-3-0-----------0-------| A ---------------------------------------------------| D -----------------------------------------------0---| RIFF 1 (simplest version): G ---------0---------------------------------| D -------0---4-------4-------4---------------| G -----0-------2---2---2---2---2---2---------| (repeat) D -0h2-----------0-------0-------0-----------| A -------------------------------------------| D -----------0-------0-------0---------------| RIFF 2: G -----------0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------0---------- D ---------0---0-------------0---0-------------0---0-------------0---0-------- G -------3-------3---------3-------3---------3-------3---------3-------3------ D -----0-----------0-----0-----------0-----0-----------0-----0-----------0---- A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- D -0-5---------------5-4---------------4-3---------------3-2------------------ FINAL SECTION (play like riff 2, but longer between changes): Dsus4addBb/G: 5 0 0 3 0 0 Dsus4addBb/F#: 4 0 0 3 0 0 Dsus4addBb/F: 3 0 0 3 0 0 Dsus4addBb/E: 2 0 0 3 0 0 Dsus4addBb/Eb: 1 0 0 3 0 0 Dsus4addBb: 0 0 0 3 0 0 OTHER CHORDS: Eb: 1 0 1 0 1 0 Gmaj9/D: 0 0 0 2 4 0 NOTE: This is pretty rough- I can't hear much under those strings.
