Been Smokin' Too Long
---------------------
Nick Drake, from 'Time of No Reply'
This is a cool blues finger picking style. I hope I've got the timing about right,
but the only way you'll really pick it up is by listening to the record.
I've only tabbed out the intro because it's the only bit I can play accurately,
but I've included the chords for the verses, and you just play them in the same sort of style.
There are only really three different chords: Am, F, E, and some twiddly bits on top of those.
Standard Tuning, Capo 2nd fret.
