So very helpful! thank you
Great tab. I worked this out myself some years back, but have since forgotten certain parts and this tab has been very helpful in reminding me. The song is perfectly realised, the synergy from the pianistic fingerstyle accompaniment, to the way the melody moves against the harmonies seems so effortless. Paul Simon is still a fairly underrated guitarist, in my opinion.
