This song is one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs even though it's only a demo
the Sounds of Silence record. This is plays correctly with the song though there's quite
bit of picking that Paul Simon has going on.

A few corrections. G is played with 3 on the first and second strings, not 2 (same goes for the chords you call C2 and B2). I would play the B2 with 2 on the fifth string instead of 1. Lastly, I would call the "C2" a Cadd9 and the "B2" a G/B. Great tab for a beautiful song. Thanks!
