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. All chords and a few riffs are listed at the bottom. I left out the Sax solo. Please purchase the track to get the timing.

I met my old lover on the street last night

           G         F#dim7               Em       Em-D#m-Dm
She seemed so glad to see    me    I just smiled

       G                G7/B              C                    C#dim7(2)
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         Bm   D   G  C/G  G
Still crazy after all these years

            G       G7               C          Cm6
I’m not the kind of man who tends to socialize

          G       F#dim7       Em       Em-D#m-Dm
I seem to lean on old familiar ways

       G               G7/B            C             C#dim7(2)
And I aint no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears

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

      G           D7        G9         
Still crazy after all these years

Amaj7               B       Bsus2     Emaj7   E      (See Fill #1)
Four in the morning crapped out,      yawn  - ing

Abm7       Dbsus4 Db   F#maj7 (or F#)
Longing my li-fe       away

Em7        B   C  B   C      G                       (See Fill #2)

C          B          Am7    D  D7   G  C/G  G
      It’s all gonna fade

G               G7           C         Cm6
Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars

G F#dim7 Bsus4 E (See Fill #3) I fear I’ll do some damage one fine day

      A               A7          D          D#dim7
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers

      A           E         F#m     D#dim7
Still crazy after all these years,  Oh

      A                 D           Dsus4  D

Still crazy after all these years
