Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' at ultimateGuitar.com)

I think John Martyn played this in his favourite
open tuning of CFCCGD and added a capo at the 2nd fret.
The version below is much easier to get to from standard tuning,
and back again, without having to alter every single string.
6 5 4 3 2 1
Open tuning: D -A -D -G -A -D
Tune 1st and 6th strings down to match the 4th string
Tune 2nd string down to match 5th string
Dm7 = 053500
Am11 = x02030
G4 = 555555
Bb6add9 = x13030
Em7 = 055400
The second half of the song is improvised.

[Verse 1]
Dm7 G4 Dm7 Am11
If I can't be a happy man, I won't be no one at all,
Dm7 G4 Dm7 Am11
If I can't be just who I am, I won't let you come to call,
Bb6add9 Am11
Well, it was alright before... I walked through the door,
Bb6add9 Am11
I was alright outside, but inside ...I had to cry!
[Verse 2]
Dm7 G4 Dm7 Am11
Low today and high tomorrow, I see that it's real,
Dm7 G4
One man's meat's a - nother man's sorrow!
Dm7 Am11 Bb6add9
Do you know how it feels... to be dead drunk on the floor,
Am11
To get up ...to ask for more,
Bb6add9 Am11
To be lying in the dark... cry-----ing?
[Verse 3]
Dm7 G4 Dm7 Am11
If I can't be a peaceful man, I will be who I can,
Dm7 G4 Dm7 Am11
If I can't get every - thing I want, I'll just get what I can, hoo!
Bb6add9 Am11
Oh, it was alright before... you walked out the door,
Bb6add9 Am11
I was alright inside, but outside...
Dm7 Am11
...I had to look a - gain, again, a - gain, again!
