Chords

by Paul Simon Tabbed by BaddGuitar Here's a "simplified" version of this jazz classic. This song has some crazy chord progressions. I've tried to capture the overall tone without impossible chords. A video of THIS tab being played: Here's some footage of Paul Simon playing this song on the guitar in the key of D while he was still working on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjtOa8d_BHU He eventually brought it up to the key of G and it was played on a keyboard.

I met my old lover on the street last night

           G         F#dim7               B7sus4 B7 Em7
She seemed so glad to see    me    I just smiled

Eb7    Dm7               G7               Dm7/C    C           C#dim7
And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers

      G           D7        Em      C#dim7
Still crazy after all these years   Oh...

      G           D7        Cm         D7   G  C/G  G

[Verse 2]
            C       G       G7/B     C         F9
I’m not the kind of man who tends to socialize

          G       F#dim7       B7sus4 B7 Em7
I seem to lean on old familiar ways

Eb7    Dm7              G7/B            Csus4      C   C#dim7
And I ain't no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears

      G           D7        Em      C#dim7
Still crazy after all these years   Oh...

      G/D         D7        G9
Still crazy after all these years

I fear I’ll do some damage one fine day

But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers
