This tab is based on the live solo versions where Paul
Simon adds an intro and plays descending bass notes.
To hear the song, copy and paste this link:
My own version of this, dueting with a friend:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeLsPNE5bDM
C = x32010 G = 320003 G/F# = 2xxxxx
C/B = x2xxxx D = xx0232 G/E = 0xxxxx
C/A = x0xxxx C/G = 3x2013
Apart from the C/G the slash shapes are not full chords,
just play them as passing bass notes.
NOTE:
For the Simon and Garfunkel album version, use a Capo
at the 4th fret, and then tune up slightly sharp to
match the studio recordings pitch. Miss out this live
intro and also the descending bass notes.
