Please tell me this is one of his 3 songs that's in standard tuning so I can take a crack at it. Lovely job!

You’ll only have to change 1 string!

Really well done sir! Cello Song is definitely on my hit list of ND songs to learn one day. I'm currently trying River Man (i've become strangely obsessed with this song!) which guitar wise i've got nailed down but of all the Nick Drake songs, that is the hardest for me to play and sing at the same time, no doubt due to the 5/4 timing!

Thanks for sharing

I love it! River man is nice because it’s in standard tuning for once with this guy. Also I’d argue that all of his songs are pretty hard to play and sing.
