With all the comments about this tab being terrible, it really isn't. If you don't like it, don't play it. I do have to say a few notes sound a little off but I have listened to this song hundreds of times (and I can play songs just by listening to them [respectively]) so I really don't think it's that bad. Again if you don't like it don't play it, and don't hate on the person who wrote the tab because they were the ones trying to make this tab available to you.

This is the correct version. 1966 copyright Paul Simon. Pg 87 in The Songs of Paul Simon Albert A Knopf New York Big Bells Incorporated New jersey 1973. Yes, it is hard. It requires a lot of practice. If you like Paul Simon, you know he is a remarkable guitarist, composer and lyricist and an arrager without peer.
