Dear Fools,
I am normally pretty good with music but I can't for the life of me work out what the time signature is on this Nick Drake track.

Any ideas?

Re: Time Signature Question
I'd never heard the track but worked it out straightaway. By cheating. These people reckon it's in 3/4, with 2/4 and 5/4 bars thrown in to confuse.

Actually the 5/4 is only shown in the bass line in one bar so they don't really mean it. It's mostly 3/3 then?

Re: Time Signature Question
A straight 3/4 surely? Ok, there's a lot of notes in some parts, so maybe 9/8 in places, but after all 9/8 is really just 3/4 with everything played in triplets...
Edit: P.S. I didn't cheat but I only listened to 30 seconds or so.
