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:

He eventually brought it up to the key of G and it
was played on a keyboard.
