This is my version of this wonderfully gorgeous song since I don't like the
version in the guitar book. I think it's more accurate to what the artist
is really playing, so tell me what YOU think.

Note: At the end of the third line of each verse, there is a walkup from G
to C that Paul Simon loves to do (Homeward Bound, Boxer, etc...) and he
alternates from the single note walk I put in the tab at that spot and a
more common (and cooler) walkup:

This tab is developed from the one by John Nimis. I don't claim it to be
better, but it's certainly a lot closer to the recorded version (on sound of
silence).
