all the same chords you've probably seen before for this simon and garfunkel song off
bridge over troubled water, but it's easier w/ a capo on five, because then it has the
appearence of a c,f,g pattern. it occured to me today while listening to the song today
that it does sound as if paul is using a capo somewhere on the neck.
w/ capo on 5- F = C... Bb = F... C = G

Dunno why so many tab this in F- its in B major (like a lot of BOTW) on the record. You can play use these chords tuned down-or just play in A (sounds best) capo 2 or G (capo 4).
